Study of information use is an important aspect of understanding the end users’ behaviour. This study is aimed at understanding the information use behavior of postgraduate engineering students in an institute of technology. The data for this study was collected through an online survey of 130 postgraduate engineering students belonging to various disciplines. The study reveals the frequency of library visit, the purpose of visiting the library, types of facilities, services and library resources used by the students. Data on strategy for searching documents sources, user’s opinion, and user satisfaction with print and e-resources were also collected. The study shows that most of the students are satisfied with library facilities.Keywords

In the present day, students prefer to acquire knowledge through videos and eBooks rather than reading a hard-bound book (Roberta Richards, 2012). To facilitate that precise need of students, to obtain quality videos and documents, authors have developed an offline video accessing web portal called ‘SAMVED’, a content management software that allows students and researchers looking for a one-stop spot to obtain videos and related documents created by experienced professors of IITs and IISc easily. SAMVED provides students and researchers access to video tutorials and documents provided by NPTEL via a simple, user-friendly user interface (UI) that allows users to view and download the content related to over 400 courses covering all major subject topics.Keywords
