Author(s): Ashok Kumar Shukla & Dr. Rajani Mishra
Abstract - E-sources have been a boon to the research community as ICT advancements have made them a major source of scholarly communication. E-resources emerged as a new and powerful tool in the electronic environment, as an aid in teaching, learning, and research. The purpose of this paper is to determine the level of awareness and use of e-resources among social scientists at Banaras Hindu University (BHU) and Aligarh Muslim University (AMU). A well-structured questionnaire has been administered to the social scientists of the BHU and AMU to collect data regarding the use of e-resources. The study focuses on the methods used by social scientists to search and browse e-resources, as well as their satisfaction levels and problems faced. However, it has been found in this study that a lack of training is a barrier to the proper and full utilization of e-resources.
Keywords - E-resources, Social Scientists, ICT, User Studies, Banaras Hindu University, Aligarh Muslim University.
