Use of Online Databases in Central Science Library, University of Delhi: A Survey

Abstract

The study finds out the level of awareness and use of online databases by the post graduate (PG) students and their satisfaction level with the infrastructure to support accessing online databases in the Central Science Library (CSL). A well structured questionnaire was prepared and distributed to the PG students to carry out the study and analyses the data regarding the awareness and use of online databases. The survey shows that most of them are well aware of the online databases and largely use them for their research work and to update their subject knowledge. It is also found that the main problems faced by them in using online databases are lack of information on online databases subscribed by university on their subjects/researches. It is also noticed that nearly 80 % of users are satisfied with the infrastructure that support accessing online databases in the Central Science Library. http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/djlit.36.2.9409
