Effective Use of Library Resources for the Research Students

Many of the resources that the library buys for our use are accessible through the library's website. These materials include electronic books, article databases, and electronic journals. Electronic books and journals provide exactly the same information as their print forms. However, unlike their print counterparts we don't have to come to the library to use them -- we can access them anywhere we have an internet connection. When we access any of the electronic materials from any place off the UDC campus, we will be prompted to log in, the same way we log in to MyUDC. Once logged in, we will be able to use the library resources without restriction. This paper is an attempt to understand the use library facility and resources to research scholar. It further examines in detail access and awareness, the predominant use of information resources and identify the barriers in use of library facilities and resources by research scholars. At the end it also provides suggestions.
