This article is based on quantitative and qualitative research examining humanities scholars’ understandings of the advantages and disadvantages of print versus electronic information resources. It explores how humanities’ faculty members at Florida State University (FSU) use print and electronic resources, as well as how they perceive these different formats. It was carried out with the goal of assisting the authors and other librarians in choosing between electronic and print formats when performing collection development responsibilities.

The study has been an attempted to find out about the usage pattern of electronic & print journals, books and other services among users, delivered by the Institute of Nuclear Medicine & Allied Sciences (INMAS) TIRC Library. A questionnaire survey was conducted in INMAS to study the pattern of usage of library services. A total number of 150 questionnaires were distributed randomly among Scientists & Service Officers, Defence Research Technical Cadre (DRTC) and Research scholars of INMAS and 121 users responded back. The outcome of the study shows that users were quite aware about the services of the library, actively participated in collection development of books and journals, more comfortable and preferring in usage of electronic information resources. With the introduction of electronic journals/resources in library, the usage is increased manifold among users. Printed resources are also referred in good numbers by the users.

Electronic Information Resources

The advent of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has revolutionised how library resources are made and transmitted to end-users. It has effectively improved the standard of education and research in tertiary institutions worldwide by providing various essential resources, including e-books, journals and databases. However, it has been observed that students still abstain from making the best usage of the digital library, instead using search engines rather than institutional digital libraries. This study investigated the factors influencing the behavioural intention of postgraduate (PG) students to use electronic information resources (EIRs). The Unified Theory of Acceptance of Technology (UTAUT) model was adopted. A cross-sectional research design was used to assess the factors influencing the use of EIRs. A sample of 362 PG students was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. Data were collected from participants via the administration of 400 copies of the questionnaire. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and the Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modelling (CB-SEM) were used to analyse data collected. The findings revealed that performance expectancy (PE) and effort expectancy (EE) were the two constructs that influenced PG students’ behavioural intention to use EIRs. In contrast, social influence (SI) and facilitating condition (FC) did not change the PG students’ behavioural plan to use EIRs. The study recommended the need for adequate training for postgraduate (PG) students on the obligation to accept and use EIRs.
