A total of 302 library users filledin the questionnaires (out of 320 approached) in the survey all eight central university libraries across India.It finds that easy and understandable content pages are the most desirable by the users; site feasibility isdirectly proportional to users interaction; and the retrieval techniques vary from subject to subject. This paperaffirms that the databases should be selected on the basis of their retrieval aspects and the online features.The publisher of the online databases can not overlook the retrieval features in the databases. Easy and simpleretrieval features can fetch more subscribers for the vendors and publishers.
