Abstract

This study examines the use reliability test for different factors, ways and means of obtaining and using, skills required, purpose of using, limitation, availability and accessibility, core purpose and satisfaction of using INDEST E-Resources by faculty members of top seven Indian Institutes of technology (IITs). The Rotated Component Matrix to different factors affecting the use of INDEST E-Resources by the faculty of top seven IITs.

Major findings of the study include: the Satisfaction has the highest (0.948) Cronbach's Alpha value and ‘F6 Strength in accessing network’ has the lowest (0.720) Cronbach’s Alpha value. The analysis found that faculty has positive attitudes about the use of INDEST E-Resources.
