This paper examines Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) usage by the students, research scholars and members of faculty of Banaras Hindu University Library. A questionnaire-based survey of various categories of users such as faculty members, research scholars, graduate and postgraduate students, covering different disciplines such as Arts, Science, Engineering, Medicine and Agriculture sciences was conducted. The paper discusses various aspects such as awareness, frequency of use, purpose, problems and satisfaction level of users, etc. The results of the study show that only one third of the respondents used OPAC frequently. The study also found that majority of users consulted OPAC to know the availability and location of the requisite documents.Keywords

Web Impact Factor (WIF) is one of the extensively used indicators in webometric studies. This paper examines Web Impact Factor of 16 websites of Knowledge Resources Heritage of India under Ministry of Culture, Government of India. It attempts to calculate the simple web impact factor, self-link web impact factor, external web impact factor and revised web impact factor through Google search engine. It is found that Anthropological Survey of India has highest SWIF of 5,437.88, Asiatic Society has highest SLWIF of 0.964, while Thanjavur Maharaja Serfoji’s Sarasvati Mahal Library has scored high RWIF of 0.568.Keywords
