Data were collected through a well-structured questionnaire administered to 86 respondents. The study revealed that 57% of the respondents were male and 43% were female. Most students prioritized the use of current information, with many utilizing journals such as IndiaStat.com, Journal of Eco-Friendly Agriculture, and Crop and Pasture Science. More than half of the respondents expressed satisfaction with library services, although students from rural backgrounds highlighted the need for Kannada-medium resources.
