Postgraduate students' approaches to E-resources in the Academic Library with Reference to Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu

Abstract

Electronic sources are faster and easier to use than print indexes when finding information. We can search multiple  files simultaneously faster than flipping through book pages. Plus, we could save our searches and resources for  future use. Electronic resources are updated more frequently than print materials, too. One of the biggest benefits of  electronic resources is that they can be accessed from anywhere with dial-up access, which is great for people who  can't attend the library in person. The researcher took the initiative to analyse the P.G. students' approaches to e resources available in the Manonmaniam Sundaranar University Library at Tirunelveli. The researcher constructed  a strong questionnaire based on previous studies and consulted with field experts. The research supervisor made  some corrections in the light of the field experts. The researcher randomly selected 150 P.G. students from the study  area and distributed the questionnaire. The researcher received only 120 fully completed questionnaires from the  respondents.
