Abstract

Abstract The study examines the purposes (both core and augmented) of accessing INDEST e-resources by the faculty members of IITs. It also highlights the basic advantages/disadvantages of accessing e-resources. The paper presents the availability and accessibility, expected facilitation and value addition of accessing INDEST e-resources. The investigators distributed 1050 questionnaire through e-mail to faculty members of top seven IITs and received 411 filled questionnaires making a moderate response rate of 39%. The analysis found that faculty has positive attitudes about the use of INDEST e-resources.
