Abstract

The Electronic Information Resources (EIRs) available in the Universities’ libraries play a dominant role. The present study examines the use of EIRs & Services by research scholars of science and technology (S&T) discipline of University with Potential for Excellence (UPE) status/awarded Universities of Karnataka State i.e. University of Mysore, Mysore (UMM) and Karnatak University, Dharwad (KUD). The main objectives of this study are to determine the awareness and usage of EIRs; impact of EIRs; problems faced by users. The study reveals that majority of the respondents i.e. 190 (96.44%) respondents are aware of EIRs and using the same for research purpose. About 171 (90.00%) respondents use e-articles/e-reprint etc, however, incompatible user interface to library website, lack of computer terminals and poor network connectivity/ slow download speed are indicated as hindrances to the use of EIRs.
