| Abstract: | A
questionnaire based survey method on internet use among college students in Kashmir Valley found that students of
computer
science make use of internet most of all followed by students of business and
commerce, general science, social
sciences
and humanities students respectively. The students of business and commerce
leads in using internet for
information,
students of computer science use it predominantly for communication purposes
and students of social sciences
and
humanities use it for education purposes compared to others. Information
overload is the most common problem faced
by
students of all faculties while searching the relevant information. The
students of general science, social sciences and
humanities
find internet illiteracy as the major limitation in using the internet. The
students of general sciences, social
sciences and humanities, and business and commerce
faced institutional curbs to internet access. |
