A number of the excellent works have been surveyed with a view to assessing the work already done.
The literature survey has been done with the help of primary and secondary sources. Foreign Literature Holland (1997) explains the need to promote the use of internet based information services among teaching and research staff at a university in the U.K Lazing et al. (1997) conducted a survey of the faculty members of the Herbert university of Jerusalem provided data on internet access as of 1995. The results showed higher usage by the members of the faculties of science, medicine and agriculture than the members of the faculties of social science and humanities.
Becker (1998) conducted a study on the Internet use by 2250 teachers from public and private schools in the U. S. The study revealed that 90% of the teachers had Internet access.More than half of the teachers (59%) had Internet access at home .
A majority of the teachers (68%) used Internet to find Information resources for preparing their lessons. Timothy T. Perry, Leslie Anne Perry, Karen Hassock-Curl (1998) Investigated this study sought to determine if differences exist among various age groups regarding students' use of the Internet. Surveys were administered to 548 students from three regional universities in the southeastern ASSAI.Survey responses were then analyzed to determine how many students regularly use the Internet, how many hours per week regular users spend on the Internet, and what computers they use. Information was also tabulated for use of e-mail, use of the Internet to obtain university information, and for the number of students who had home pages.
In this article he mound survey responses were analyzed to determine which students: consider the Internet to be a fad; project their future use of the Internet to be less, the same, or more than now; and project they will use the Internet In their chosen careers.Jiffies and Hussein (1998) reported that teaching faculty construct web pages to help structure students gather data and to provide access to other resources. Students, on the other hand, use email to communicate with their peers and with their tutors. The researchers emphasized the fact that students preferred to email their tutors rather than have face-to-face meetings.
