Abstract

Extensive use of electronic resources (e-resources) has covered varied fields. This increased interruption with such widened scope certainly can be seen in research studies. Of how much help, it proved to be for research scholars and its future prospects, especially in science faculty of Kurukshetra University of Kurukshetra (KUK), formed the basis of this paper. This study would provide a clear picture of their use and help to form improvised strategies. Study empirical in nature made use of a number of questionnaires and found out that 70% of male and 30% of female respondents used these resources followed by the fact that 75% belonged to age group of 25–30 years. This study also shows that most of respondents use e-resources daily and role of library in providing training for their use is not satisfactory. There are many other hurdles such as slow access speed and non-availability of needed e-resources, which curtail the prospects of possible effective use. This paper aims at providing concrete basis for better understanding of present situation and thus formation of smart future goals.
