This article is based on analysis of data gathered from Social Science faculty in ten State Universities in Maharashtra that are conducting user education programs. 291 (82.97%) Social Science faculty responded to the questionnaire. Data analysis reveals that only 35.05% of the respondents attended user education programs. Most professors were 'Not aware' of the programs while more than half of 'Associate Professors' (54.29%) attended these programs. Majority (58.42%) of the Social Science faculty have 'not attended any program' - 'No time to attend' (43.20%), 'Lack of information' (36.80%) are the primary reasons for not attending these programmes. But majority of the faculty have indicated that these programs are useful to them (68.73%) and 97.50 percent of these respondents indicated that their 'accessing the Online Sources' will improve immensely.Keywords
