The study found that all the research scholars are using library e-resources specifically for research work and e-journals (83%) are most used resources. However, majority of them use e-resources and printed material equally and need training regarding information retrieval and discipline specific search. CeRA (Consortium for e-Resources in Agriculture) and KrishiPrabha e-Theses, DOAJ, Agricola, sources on educational and bibliographical information and encyclopaedias are most used e-resources by the research scholars. Slow access speed in reaching the needed e-resource and difficulty in downloading are the major problems in accessing the e-resources. This study offers the suggestions for further improvement of access of electronic resources to fulfil the research needs of scholars.","PeriodicalId":405689,"journal":{"name":"Library Herald","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129963526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to present the results of a survey research that investigated post-graduate students at Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai, India. This survey research is done through a quantitative approach by using the questionnaire as a tool for data collection. The researchers designed the questionnaire with open-ended and closeended questions and distributed to post-graduate students. The data analysis revealed that major purpose to use the web tools by the students is for professional activities like finding relevant materials, sharing with friends and promoting their research. This is positive sign that students are focused and use the Web 2.0 tools for educational purpose. Students feel that privacy is the major concern for them. This study is limited to examine the students’ usage and experiences of Web 2.0 tools by small group of post-graduate students of TISS, Mumbai. Therefore, the results should not be generalized in different settings to describe all students’ experiences of the use of Web 2.0 tools. This research study gives a clear picture of students and their use of web 2.0 tools in their education. This research can be helpful to the fraternities so as to help students understand the importance of these tools. Their awareness level about the tools can be observed and can be improved.","PeriodicalId":405689,"journal":{"name":"Library Herald","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132403768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
