Abstract

Today, the advent of information technology has resulted in reducing the size of libraries. In fact, these smaller modern libraries are rich potential of information. It has been possible due to the digitization of information. This paper is an attempt to study issues like use of electronic information resources, its impact on the collection of print and electronic journals, its awareness among the users, and the places where the users are accessing these resources. A survey was conducted in the academic year 2009-10 at the SASTRA University, Thanjavur. A total number of 450 users from the undergraduate, postgraduate, research scholars and faculty members were selected and their response was obtained with the help of questionnaires. The findings showed that 79.13 % of the male users were aware about the electronic information resources whereas only 73.23 % of female respondents were aware about the availability of electronic information resources. The results showed that 55.23 % of respondents wanted to access only electronic resources whereas only 20.00 % users want to read the printed resources. The paper highlights that majority of respondents are not satisfied with the availability of enough electronic information resources in their respective subject.
