Abstract

The internet has become the way of life in this information society. It beings the idea of wall less/boundary less open library. Whereas, in the states like Manipur, the distant and remote corner of North East India, it is only available to few people with access to a Computer Network. The ability and facility to access web contents are very limited. Keeping this in view the present piece of study attempts to analyse the status in 48 (Forty eight) different types of libraries of Manipur. Besides this, 321 (three hundred and twenty one) users of these libraries have also been taken into account to understand how far they can use and are aware of accessibility to internet.
