Abstract

The present study attempts to find out the use pattern of various conventional as well as internet resources by the research scholars of all the faculties of the University of Jammu. It has been found that most of the research scholars use the internet for research purpose. Among all the internet resources, on line search is preferred by less than half of the scholars on once in a day basis. Slow speed of access was identified as the major problem while surfing internet. As compared to conventional resources internet resources are easy to use, time saving, more informative and more useful. But in spite of all these advantages of internet resources over conventional resources, print resources are still preferred by the scholars. No doubt more number of research scholars claim that their frequency of using conventional resources has decreased after using internet resources but a considerable percentage of research scholars say the frequency has increased and for some of them there is no change in the use of print resources.

It is popular in India as a non-traditional thrust vegetable for export and value addition. The dehusked young ear can be eaten raw as salad or used as ingredients in various preparations like soup, vegetable and pickles. The basic requirements of baby corn for market is said to be 4.5 to 10 cm length and 7 to 17 mm diameter. Domestic markets for baby corn continue to grow and number of farmers producing the crop are increasing. Growing baby corn for high nutritional value and consumer acceptability are the major objectives to consider in addition to high productivity. Because of growing importance of this crop to Indian agriculture, there is need to carry out investigation on its nutritional value and consumer acceptability.

Abstract

This study examines how remote users used electronic resources made available by the Dhanvantri Library at the University of Jammu. Quantitative techniques were employed to investigate how effectively e-resources are being used remotely. The study focused on users’ assessments of e-resources and the satisfaction level derived from them. The Technology Acceptance Approach (TAM) model is used to explore the level of adoption of e-resources through remote access in two dimensions, i.e., PU and PEU. The results revealed a positive attitude towards e-resources and moderately adopted 2.05 ± .83, the remote access environment of the Dhanvantri library, where the average perceived usefulness is 2.97 ± 1.17, and the perceived ease of use is 2.58 ± 1.99. Consequently, TAM is significantly related to PEU [ χ²(12, 299) = 219.06, p<.001] and PU [χ²(10, 299) = 48.33, p<.001].
