Abstract

With the increasing use of technology in recent decades, consequently there was also the growth of materials available on the web, so that the students had easier access to books and texts that would be used in their disciplines of study. Even with the ease of obtaining these objects of study, many students do show resistance to make use, and much of claims not to like them, causing the reading when done in digital mode is not as leveraged as it would be in printed material. The issue of the research builds on exactly this problem for the collection of data will be distributed an electronic questionnaire to the schools of librarianship of the Brazil to be answered by the students. The data collected will be analyzed in a quantitative and qualitative way. With the results, it is expected to understand the factors that influence students' choice of study materials and possible solutions to the problems presented.
