Abstract
Digital information resources are fetching more and more imperative for the academic community. The increase of technical colleges in Andhra Pradesh are quiet noteworthy and in advance of various states of India. Digital resources are measured as imperative resources of teaching, research and training. Consequently, digital resources play a important role in academic libraries as they are mostly jingle for the support of academic brilliancy and research. For these research questionnaires were distributed to the faculty members of 10 selected engineering colleges in East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh. Accordingly, 400 questionnaire distributed amongst the faculty members of 10 engineering colleges. Out of 400, only 336 questionnaires were received back that is the overall response rate is 84%.. 27.98% of the faculties are utilize digital resources for bring up to date Knowledge. It is also found from the study that preponderance of the faculty members were satisfied with available digital resources.
Highlights
SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY The scope of the study is limited to the faculty members of engineering colleges in East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, as the study is to know the Awareness and Use of Web based Library resources
Web based resources are producing a revolution in engineering college libraries
These have rapidly changed the way of on the lookout for and disseminate information, greater part of the engineering college faculty members are aware of the availability of Web based resources in their respective libraries and are accessing them
Summary
Digital library is a place in which collections are accumulated in digital formats and reachable by computer terminals. Digital library is creation the library endure a transform in the model of its role to produce, organize and distribute information resources. A digital library is a distributed electronic collection that covers almost all fields of human Endeavour to serve a distinct community. Digital libraries play a momentous role in engineering libraries, as they are habitually tuned for the encouragement of academic distinction and research. The main objective of an engineering college library is to assist engineering professionals in enhancing and updating their knowledge and skills in engineering education and research. The principal role of engineering college library is to collect and organize record information in engineering and connected subjects to meet the needs of the users
