There was a time when people would spend hours sitting in a library, moving from shelf to shelf to read a book of their choice.

They get whole of information readymade and need to put in no much effort to get the material of their need. However, this changing news consuming patters has created a digital divide among the users and non-users of internet. A section of society who has not been touched by the technology believes that the real flavour of reading comes by sitting in a library and not by holding laptops or phones in hand. This paper will try to find out how new media’s resources are being used by the university students and scholars in Kashmir.
