Exploring Student Interests in Shodhganga: Thesis Repository's Web Page Design, Content Delivery, and Navigation
Abstract
Shodhganga, developed by the Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET) Centre, serves as a repository for electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) from Indian universities and research institutions. Using data collected from 482 research scholars in Tamil Nadu between December 2023 and March 2024, this research explores how student interests influence the appearance and structure of web pages, content delivery, and hyperlinks and navigation within the platform. The study employs the Student Interest Scale to measure student interests and derives dependent variables—Appearance and Structure of Web Pages, Content Delivery, and Hyperlinks and Navigation—from measures created by Ingrid Stewart, Eunsook Hong, and Neal Strudler (2010). Descriptive statistics and correlation coefficients reveal significant positive correlations between student interests and the other variables, indicating a strong relationship. Further linear regression models indicate a statistically significant effect of student interests on each aspect, suggesting their influence on digital repository platforms.
