Conclusion(1)
The group with higher academic degree, spending more time and have higher comments on Internet
Income is not the key factor affecting the usage of Internet
The searching behavior is hybrid, Internet is a supplement to traditional information resources
![Page 32: Searching information and evaluation of Internet: - a Chinese academic user survey Dong Xiaoying, Ph.D Guanghua School of Management, Peking University,100871.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5516a310550346a25b8b5554/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Conclusion(2)
Internet is helpful to narrowing the knowledge gap
The user pay more attention to Internet content rather than its format, authority and validation is the main concern for the quality
Intermediary have big space in providing value added services
![Page 33: Searching information and evaluation of Internet: - a Chinese academic user survey Dong Xiaoying, Ph.D Guanghua School of Management, Peking University,100871.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5516a310550346a25b8b5554/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Further study
the regional divergence of using Internet among academics, particularly between developed and developing areas in China
the patterns of information seeking behavior of different target groups need to be explored
