A Study of the Uses and Advantages of E-Resources Compared to Print Resources in the State Universities in Kerala
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Library and Information Science - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
Electronic information resources in libraries have made remarkable change in the users’ perception towards print resources. A survey among 421 respondents in six state universities in Kerala reveals that the use of eresources is considered as an advantage and it benefits the academic community. While analyzing the use of eresources compared to the print resources, the statement ‘E-resources affect the reading habit so it is not be encouraged’ is rejected because it is not an advantage. All the twelve hypothesizes set for ‘Benefits of electronic resources for accessing scholarly information’ are accepted because all the regulatory constructs have significant influence on Benefit of e-resources.
