Abstract |
This article explores the impact of electronic information resources on the information-seeking behavior of faculty members at Atal Bihari Vajpayee University Bilaspur (AU), the Government university in Bilaspur District. The study involved interviewing faculty members from various departments to understand their use of electronic resources for research, their views on electronic versus print materials, and the challenges they encounter during the information search process. The research targeted all faculty members of AU's campus. Due to the limited size of the target population, data was collected using questionnaires designed with 26 open and closed-ended questions tailored to address key aspects of the study.
