Abstract
Green ICT is an important strategic technology which has various benefits such as reducing green
house gas emissions, lowering electricity costs, creating good corporate image, etc. This study is an
attempt to determine the awareness and attitude carried out by the IT/Computer engineering students
towards the Green ICT. This study also examines the acceptance of younger people concerning
Green ICT practices and to identify the reasons, barriers and their views regarding IT. The present
study has been made by surveying the IT/Computer engineering users groups at LDRP-ITR, KSV
University Campus, by using random sampling techniques and the questionnaire tools. After the
analysis, few suggestions have been given, which could increase the use of Green ICT in younger
people and minimize the harmful impact to the environment. Academic libraries are an integral part
of academic institutes; play a vital role in teaching, learning, scholarships and research activities
for academic communities. Librarians take initiatives to create awareness and adopt Green ICT
efficiently and effectively among academic communities which provide good and healthy environment
to community for their better life and thus, to conserve global environment.
