library is a building that hosts an “organized collection of printed books and periodicals of any other graphic and audiovisual materials” (Oyewusi & Oyeboade, 2009, p. 277). Libraries found in universities and colleges are academic libraries because they provide scholarly materials while other libraries that provide non-scholarly materials are public libraries. The Internet, on the other hand, is not a physical place, but it is a network of computers that provide services like the World Wide Web (WWW), emails, and blogs. These services made it easier for individuals to share texts, media, and pieces of information on the Internet. Even libraries are now sharing their materials, i.e., books, dictionaries, journals, and so on, on the internet in an electronic format. It is important, however, to always distinguish between the materials and information found in the library, either printed or in electronic format, and those found on the Internet. This is because materials from libraries are generally more credible and reliable than materials from the internet. Remember Books and other publications found in libraries have been through a review process by other authors, editors and/ or reviewers. However, anyone can post on a website page on the Internet without any review from other writers and editors about the credibility and reliability of the information. Still, it should be acknowledged that more credible and reliable research is becoming available exclusively on the Internet with the rise of many online academic journals and newspapers.
