This research aims to analyze the reading action made by the participants on what is presented in the Internet, considering its daily use and the access made for the young people. There search’s results make possible to conclude: the unfamiliarity of these citizens about the existence of such contents in the web (libraries and museums) as well as the caused allure by the plurality of subjects and images presented to them.
