Abstract

The aim of this work was to diagnose native digital university students, about the relationship between Internet use and the number of hours of weekly reading on the internet and printed sources as well as its relationship with the academic and non-academic information, which will be useful for future research. It was a quantitative, transversal and correlational research; there was a sample of 1 500 university students, with random probabilistic sampling of students enrolled in Mexico in higher education. A survey type instrument was used. The results indicate that university students in Mexico present a direct relationship in the number of hours of weekly reading via the internet and the number of hours of reading in printed published sources; they are search engines for academic information to a greater range in printed sources; highlighting that most digital university natives have a reading habit.
