The purpose of this paper is to identify and discuss the usefulness of Internet in the life of academic libraries. It also identifies and critically discusses the negative influences posed by the use of Internet as a great medium of intellectual communication and also appraises its suitability within the Indian context. An enhanced utilization of Internet to prop up library and academic development which are pertinent to social interaction, peace, and balanced cognition, a group of vigilant users are necessary. Governments, University administrators, and librarians who support positive maximization of Internet gains are imperative. National development through academic libraries is endangered in an environment where there is no human face in the management and utilization of digital academic libraries. This is because it will reduce the moral and academic standard of the people and breed educated criminals who visit libraries only to do mischief.
