The paper presents results of the research dealing with students´preferences of electronic, or printed materials in 2019 at two intentionally selected high-er education institutions in the Czech Republic: Faculty of Education (FE), University of Jan Evangelista Purkyne, Usti nad Labem, and Faculty of In-formatics and Management (FIM), University of Hradec Kralove. Data were collected from 185 participants who were to fulfil the task within English for Specific Purposes – they searched for sentences containing selected grammar phenomena. Totally 8,140 sentences were collected and structured under ten types of electronic and printed sources (professional book, fiction long, fic-tion short, article, other source. Data were processed by Fisher´s exact test. The hypothesis expecting association between the type of institution and type of source was verified. FE students preferred printed books of long fic-tion (novels) but also used e-books, both of long fiction and on professional content, whereas FIM students exploited two types of sources only: e-articles and printed books relating to their profession and/or field of study.
