As a professional my personal experience is that users ask for |documents from internet but for the purpose of consultation they always |prefer printed material. In our collection we have got more than 200 e- |books, but users have always asked for their printed version, they feel |more comfortable with that. So Internet will remain a platform for sharing |knowledge and easy retrieval of that, but rest all depends on user’s choice |and at the moment they are going for printed documents and driving force |will remain users only. | | | |Asim Kumar, | |Librarian, | |The Jain Group of Institutions. | | |Yahoo!
