Abstract:
This study examines the use and perceived importance of the Internet amongst academics in University environment.
A detailed questionnaire was distributed among the faculty members of Andhra University. The findings revealed
that the primary purpose of using the Internet is for research; Full text is most suitable format; consulting e-journals
is infrequent; Yahoo and Google are the favourite search engines. Among other findings, the study revealed that
searching the World Wide Web is not without difficulty and though the Internet is a good information source, it has
not replaced print and is not a panacea for all information questions.
