Information Seeking Behaviour of Library Users in Select PG Degree Colleges of Chhattisgarh State

Abstract

A study of “Information Seeking Behaviour of Library Users in Select PG Degree Colleges of Chhattisgarh State” was conducted using Questionnaire method in order to assess their information needs, their information seeking and information searching behaviour and the resultant satisfaction/dissatisfaction with their library resources and services regarding the fulfilment of their information needs (Balaji et al.,2016). The findings of the study indicated that although printed form is still the preferred format of most of the users, online resources are also consulted by them, particularly for current researches (Nishat and Ahmad, 2008). The library users were generally satisfied with their existing library resources and services though some expressed the need for better library infrastructure – buildings, reading rooms, air-conditioning, photocopy, printing facility etc.. Most of the respondents felt the need for some sort of training in the use of e-resources to explore them in a better way (Kaur et al.,2016).
