Abstract

The Purpose of this study is to investigate the current state of utilisation of resources and services available in selected engineering colleges in Chennai District. Questionnaire followed with the personal interview is the method chosen for data collection in this study. Out of the total of nine institutions, six are selected as sample for the purpose of the present study, representing almost 66% of the total institutions in Chennai District. From each institution, 100 respondents are selected as sample; the researchers have adopted a stratification method. To test the hypothesis, Chi-square test and ANOVA two-way model are applied. This study is the first of its kind on engineering college libraries of Chennai District. It relies not only on data supplied by respondents but also on verification by actual observation. It throws light on the current status of the use of ICT facilities and level of information literacy in the users of these libraries and tries to find the reasons behind their dissatisfaction.
