Use of electronic sources and services in medical and Para-medical college in Gujarat: a user study

Abstract

Electronic resources and services have become indispensable in the modern era. Not only in business, but also in higher education institutions and service sectors such as libraries. The current study is based on the use of electronic resources and services by Gujarati medical and paramedical students. The researcher investigates ten colleges in the fields of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, and physiotherapy. Data has been gathered from library users from each college. The study included 100 students, 20 from each discipline college. 90 responses were received from 100 students. Different electronic resource and service libraries have been implemented, but users are not taking advantage of them because they are unaware of their existence.
