Abstract

This article examines students’ reading habits, their preferences and trends in traditional reading, i.e. books and other printed materials in the library in the digital era. The study was carried out in a reputed public school in South India, with a well stocked library and offering digital information access and services to the students and staff. The study is based on factual data downloaded from the computerised circulation data and data collected through a questionnaire. It was found that the habit of reading printed books has not been much affected by the digital era. Providing periodic exposure to the latest books to students, involving them in book selection and other motivating practices keeps the students’ book reading habits intact.
