Data are assuming new magnitude, since the concept of big data emerged. Data is a prominent component in social science research. The Social Science data are variable in nature from region to region. The nature of social sciences data was compared to ‘iceberg’ by DEVSIS and its capture and management was given importance. A project was undertaken on Research Data Management in social sciences focusing on use of data in doctoral research. The study covers five premier universities of Karnataka has observed clear distinct features of data in the disciplines of social sciences. Researchers from Sociology, Economics, Commerce and Management disciplines use tables and figures heavily to present research data, whereas History, Geography use visual data. The uses of data are low in disciplines like History, Political science, Law and Women’s studies. The amount of data generated by doctoral researchers has immense potential for re-packaging and reuse. It is essential to build a data repository platform to share and reuse research data and train researchers to compile and upload the data for future use.Keywords

In the current information society, information and knowledge are the basic resources, and access to them is vital. Without the knowledge of ICT and information literacy skills, it is difficult to deal with the ocean of information and knowledge. The expression ‘e-library’ refers to information accessed through the Internet. Unlike traditional libraries, e-libraries are not limited by location or time. The primary goal of this study is to determine how the information literacy skills, especially among students of secondary schools, affect the use of e-library resources. For the present study a survey method of research and questionnaire were used for data collection. The questionnaires were distributed randomly to 120 students in the selected 2 schools – one government and one unaided – in Bengaluru. The purpose of the study is to find out the effects of information literacy skills on the use of e-library resources among school children in Bengaluru. The findings of this study call for well-integrated library instruction programmes and services to improve student information literacy skills.Keywords
