Summary: | It has been observed that students and faculty members in nursing institutions in India are not that much aware of making use of electronic sources of information. The present study is confined to four leading nursing colleges in Northern India. Findings show that 18.27% (n=36) of the respondents lack proper training on using online sources and that nearly 90% (n=175) of the respondents believe that their work will suffer without access to e-resources. In terms of satisfaction level towards e-resources usage, 11.40% (n=22) of the respondents were fully satisfied, 9.33% (n=18) dissatisfied, while the rest showed somewhat mixed levels of satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Home is one of the most preferred places by 53.89% (n=104) of the respondents to access e-resources as compared to 15.59% (n=29) who prefer to use the library. |
