Abstract
An attempt is made to study the usefulness of e-Governance services offered in Nadakacheris, problems faced by citizens and status of public libraries which have major role to play in creating awareness about these services among Citizens. Majority of the users are between the age group of 21-40 years and 94 of them are graduates. Citizens from different walks of life such as farmers, employees in Government/private sectors, students and housewives are using the services of Nadakacheri. Major problems faced by the Citizens are lack of awareness about necessary documents to be carried. The study also recognizes the role of public libraries which are providing library services to the citizens, particularly in rural areas, where public libraries can be hub for integrated citizen’s oriented services by adopting Information Communication Technology (ICT).
