APPLICATION OF INFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) IN ENGINEERING COLLEGE LIBRARIES - A STUDY

This study conducted to find out the frequency of usage of ICT by the users of engineering college libraries, to find out the purpose of using ICT, and to identify the problems faced the users while using ICT. Questionnaire method used to carry out this study. Questionnaire distributed to three engineering colleges, collected data analyzed. From this study we found that nearly 3/4th familiar about e-resources/ICT services as well as satisfied with e- journals, majority of the users access e- resources/ ICT services at least once in a week, 2/3rd of the users satisfied with network facility in engineering college libraries. Providing good networking/Internet service and protecting from virus will give fruitful access of e-resources/ICT services for engineering college libraries.
