Access Pattern Of Scholarly Information By Research Scholars Of Vels Univerity

Abstract

Information is crucial in satisfying the user community's information needs. Information has its own worth and is necessary for society's survival and advancement. Information that was once kept under lock and key is now shared, transferred, and disseminated among users. Because information is such an important component of educational institutions, libraries must encourage the academic and research communities to use the resources that are available, especially since large sums of money are spent on acquiring them. Information is vital to the development of both the individual and the nation. Information has multiplied as a result of advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The main causes of information explosion include the ease with which information may be published on the internet, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research, specialisation, and the user community's changing information needs.
