Availability of E-resources in private agriculture collages in Uttar Pradesh, Bharat

Abstract

Background Libraries support us by giving us the information we require, which is a very important part of their role in our lives. It is regarded as a group or establishment that assists us in effectively storing information and collects, protects, and disperses it to people that require it. The documents are gathered by the agricultural library, which then makes them accessible to its users by giving them the necessary details. Teachers, students, and researchers who study zoology, genetics, plant and animal breeding, anatomy and physiology, plant and animal pathology, entomology, soil science, horticulture, and agricultural economics are among the users of agricultural libraries. The agricultural library’s users must cater to a variety of patrons, including those with very specific needs, such teachers, and scientists. Area of Study 13 private agriculture colleges in Uttar Pradesh were chosen by the researcher for the study. Methodology Data were gathered using the survey method. 770 survey questionnaires were handed out. Findings Despite having a proper library, ICT infrastructure, and many other things, the study’s findings demonstrate that private agriculture colleges in Uttar Pradesh do not have a collection of electronic resources. The report makes several recommendations for the creation of libraries for private agriculture institutions in Uttar Pradesh.
