摘要

目的本文关注克什米尔大学研究学者和研究生对电子资源的使用。主要目的是确定电子资源的使用、用户处理电子资源的技能及其使用目的。此外,本文旨在强调研究学者和研究生在访问电子资源方面面临的问题。设计/方法/方法该调查通过结构化问卷在克什米尔大学不同系的250名研究学者(硕士/博士)和研究生中进行,回答率为80%。随机抽样法用于选择受访者并与他们互动。研究学者对14个问题的回答以表格的形式呈现。研究结果该研究的主要发现表明,大多数学生报告称,他们将电子期刊资源用于各种目的,包括作业、研究提案撰写、文献综述撰写、研究报告撰写、当前意识以及通过同行评审论文悠闲地探索正在进行的科学辩论。在使用电子期刊资源方面遇到的挑战包括停电、带宽不足、下载速度慢、无法在家访问资源、缺乏培训、缺乏意识、计算机访问受限以及搜索困难。该论文得出结论,电子资源已成为克什米尔大学研究学者研究生信息需求的组成部分。此外,研究发现,如果访问速度快,并且安装了更多的计算机终端来提供对电子资源的快速访问,那么电子资源可以很好地替代传统资源。最后,提出了改进电子期刊资源利用的建议。实际含义本文限制克什米尔大学的研究学者和研究生仅使用电子资源进行研究。原创性/价值本文重点介绍了克什米尔大学研究学者和研究生对电子资源的使用,并对改善电子资源和服务提出了一些建设性建议。这是第一次对克什米尔大学研究生使用电子资源的情况进行评估。该研究可用于评估克什米尔大学研究生和高等院校其他用户对电子资源的需求。

Utilization of electronic resources: an analysis of awareness and perception of users of Kashmir University
Purpose This paper focuses on the use of e-resources by research scholars and post-graduate students at Kashmir University. The main aim is to determine the use of e-resources, users skills in handling e-resources and the purpose of their use. Further, this paper aims to highlight the problems faced by research scholars and post-graduate students in accessing e-resources. Design/methodology/approach The survey was conducted through a structured questionnaire circulated among 250 research scholars, both (M.Phil./Ph.D.) and post-graduate students, from different departments of Kashmir University, and the response rate was 80%. Random sample method was used for the selection of respondents and interacting with them. The responses received from the research scholars to 14 questions are presented in the form of tables. Findings Major findings of the study reveal that the majority of the students reported using electronic journal resources for various purposes including working on assignments, research proposal writing, literature review writing, research report writing, current awareness and leisurely exploration of ongoing scientific debates through peer-reviewed papers. The challenges encountered in the use of electronic journal resources include a power outage, inadequate bandwidth, slow download speed, inability to access the resources from home, lack of training, lack of awareness, limited access to computers and difficulty in searching. The paper concludes that electronic resources have become an integral part of the information needs of research scholars’ post-graduate students at Kashmir University. Further, it finds that e-resources can be good substitutes for conventional resources, if the access is fast, and more computer terminals are installed to provide fast access to e-resources. Finally, recommendations for improving the use of electronic journal resources are provided. Practical implications The paper restrains the study exclusively to use of e-resources by the research scholars and post-graduate students of Kashmir University. Originality/value The paper highlights the use of e-resources by research scholars and post-graduate students of Kashmir University and makes some constructive suggestions for the improvement of electronic resources and services. This is the first time an effort has been made to assess the use of electronic resources by post-graduate students at Kashmir University. The study could be used to assess the post-graduate students’ needs for electronic resources at the Kashmir University and other users in higher learning institutions.
