English abstract

This paper conducted a survey to examine the use of social networking sites by the students of KLE's LIngaraj College, Belagavi, Karnataka, India using a random sampling technique. A total of 100 replies were received, 50 from men and 50 from women. The results revealed that both male and female students made extensive use of WhatsApp. The majority of students expected to receive notifications of library activities, OPAC, and newspaper services via online platforms. The findings also show that, while social media is still a relatively new phenomenon, it is becoming an increasingly significant tool for students to communicate and socialize with their classmates. Students are also concerned about security and privacy.
