Internet is used for various reasons in the field of Information publication, storing, searching, retrieval and access. It has become the global library where all desired information is only a mouse click away. To check the utilization of internet and its services, a survey of 500 students of seven universities of north India was conducted. Data was collected with the help of a structured questionnaire. The present study revealed that all students were using internet and its services. The Internet and both the print and the e-resources are used to get the needed information. To get necessary information, search engines, websites, e-resources, subject gateways, portals, blogs, and Wikipedia are used in order of preference. Majority of the students have knowledge and awareness about social networking sites.
