Readers’ Perception towards E-Resources and Services in JKK Nattaraja Dental College and Hospital, Komarapalayam, Tamil Nadu: A Study

Author : K. Ramakrishnan and T. Magudeeswaran
Volume 8 No.3 October-December 2018 pp 45-49

Abstract

The JKK Nattaraja Dental College and Hospital has made sound library policies to provide better e-resources services to its readers. This study is an attempt to examine and measure the extent and use of e-resources, information alert services, awareness towards the e-resources, purpose of using the e-resources, service attitude of library staff and overall quality of e-services offered by the library of JKK Nattaraja Dental College and Hospital. The sample size was 108 and the questionnaire was distributed and received from students (including BDS and MDS), and faculty members of JKK Nattraja Dental College and Hospital which were analyzed carefully in this study. The findings have demonstrated that e-journals are more popular than print journals; the library regularly invites readers’ views regarding the information constraints and: the library continuously puts forward information alert services to their readers. Most of the readers are aware of the e-journals/database offered by the library concerned to their subject and also are able to explore the e-resources associated with their area of interest.
