THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Knowledge is one of the biggest factors to know if the person is literate or not. In fact, without knowledge, they cannot be as intelligent or smart as others. According to Dunn (2013), They take information and ideas from books, TV, The internet, our family, friends, teachers and many other sources. With the Help of the information, they can gain knowledge. Books and internet mentioned above. It only means that these two sources was one and still helpful way for others when it comes in taking in information. Students nowadays are the ones who need to seek information about anything because of the different assignment researches, and many other activities they have. These days, most of them use two (2) different ways in searching information Ranganathan (2000), The “Father of Science Library” said that “a library is a public institution of establish charged with the care of a collection of books and the duty of making them accessible to those who required use them and the task of converting every person in its neighborhood into a habitual library goers and a regular reader”. And also, the main function of it are: (1) help the life- long self-education of one and all, (2) furnish up to date facts and information on all subjects to one and all, (3) distribute in an unblessed and balanced way all sources of recorded reviews and thought to one and all, and serve as a helper in the discharge of their political responsibilities in respect of local, national, and international affairs, (4) Contributes 1

to productive drive by information to management of the latest trends in diverse enterprises by sloughing back in the minds or researchers, designers and technologists, every piece of relevant new thoughts promptly, (5) preserve the literary remains of humanity for posterity as vehicles of culture and source materials for antiquarian research, (6) Provides to one and all worthy and elevating use of leisure, and (7) in general, work for continued social wellbeing as the agency in charge of all socialized thought. With this information, they can conclude that if people use books as their source of information, they are assured that the information they get are legit. Aside from libraries, Internet is also a very useful way for others. According to Strauss (2003). The internet is a whole network that is connected to each either. Some computers in this network are storing files, such as web pages which can be accessed by all network computers. In the internet, they can visit different websites that may help them if they need information about something that they wanted to know. Fitzpatrick (2007), listed the Top 15 Most Influential Websites of All Time and there are: Match.com, Reddit, Pandora, Wikileaks, Yahoo, Craigslist, Youtube, Facebook, Wikipedia, Amazon, and Goggle. This websites have more visitors other than the others and they can notice that the Google is the most visited website among them. Knowing that this websites is a tool for searching and with the help of this tool. People can easily access to the internet to find whatever they wanted. Consider this two ways of finding information. There is nothing wrong of using them. But, how can they know if the information on the book was still applicable for us?

They know that information is not forever and it can’t be always be right. It is changeable depending on the time that they need it. This study will show the comparative study of the use of the internet and the library as the source of information. Theoretical Framework Theory of Library According to University of Greenwich (2016). Using a large academic library for the first time can be a daunting experience. With literally thousands of books, ebooks, online journals, and other resources, tracking down the sources of information They needed for the academic work can sometimes seem confusing and time consuming. However, learning to use the Library and its resources is an important skill to master. By finding and using good quality information in their assignments, They demonstrating those marketing their work opinions are informed and built on research conducted by experts in their field. This is an essential skill to demonstrate in order to attract top marks for they work. Here they can find some clear and practical guidance on how to make effective use of library resources to find the information they need for your studies and get maximum benefit from what is available. Books will prove to be an invaluable source of information for your studies. There will be particular books that are recommended by your tutors via your reading 3

lists, but you may also want to do your own wider reading and research using books on the subjects you are studying. Books can provide valuable background information, an in-depth overview of a subject, an explanation of theories and a comparison of differing ideas, approaches and opinions. They will not be surprised to hear that there are lots of books in the University of Greenwich libraries. The easiest way to check whether we have the book you need, whether it is currently available, and where exactly you can find it, is to search our library catalogue. Find out more about using the Library and borrowing books. In addition to the print books in the libraries, they also have an extensive collection of nearly 13,000 full text e-books. E-books are great because they can access them at any time and quickly search the whole of the text for relevant information. Many e-books can also be downloaded to their own device so that they can read them offline. Searching tools like the library catalogue, Journal, News paper and Library Search can help them to discover the some authentic information and other sources that the libraries have. Theory of Internet According to Sahin.et.al (2010), the most effective communication resources, computers and the Internet, are part of our daily life and have become one of the important tools in the education. The Internet helps transfer information between different points therefore this satiation makes the Internet a very powerful information system. People in different age groups and jobs, students and academicians who do scientific research and prepare projects prefer using the 4

Internet because it is the easiest, fastest, and cheapest ways of accessing necessary information. Even though the Internet is a very important and indispensable source for students, the issue of whether the referenced source is trustworthy and/or credible, has been raised. This is because there is no control on any particular piece of information published through the Web, in opposition to the scientific and professional journals published by the scientific institutions, business world and the organizations known to the public. Many of the sites on the Internet enable anybody to submit any kind of information without being controlled, and many of the sites known as reliable are restricted to open access for commercial purposes or security requirements (IP restriction, membership). So that Internet limits the accessibility for students and deprives them of these sites. Because of these constraints, information resources used by students are generally untrustworthy or students have been inaccurately forwarded. In the theory of library discussed the findings and quality information they are demonstrating. Library is an essential skills to demonstrate in order to attack top marks for other works. Some books will prove that the source of information is more reliable in terms of studies and other paper works. Many researchers using library as their searching tools like journals, catalogs, and newspaper. Then, the theory of internet is a effective communication resources internet helps us to transfer information between different points. Internet is a powerful information system. Many of the sites on the internet can anybody submit of 5

REVIW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES Local Literature The PUP websites (1998) have new internet and web technologies which can help visitor’s information and online services that is relevant and useful to them. Technology is the factor to the learning of the student, not only to learn but also to renew something to learn technology was broad and some students was curious about on that technology can do to other things so that it may expect that 12 every generation will have a new invented in using technology especially they will not do that if they don’t browse in books.
