Web-based use of E-resources is playing a vital role for information seeking. In this direction the present study was conducted on the use of E-resources (e-books, e-journals, e-databases subscribed by Health Science Library and Information Network, HELINET Consortium and ERMED Consortium) by the faculty members and PG students of Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences and Information Centre, Bangalore, Karnataka State. A structured questionnaire was designed and distributed to faculty members and PG students (150) to know their effective use of e-resource for their study, teaching and research. A total of 135 filled in questionnaires were received and the response rate was 82.66%. The study results found that most of the teaching faculty and PG students preferred to search Google and Yahoo as search engine for their information search requirements. At the same time they consulted Pub Med and Science Direct and Ovid publisher’s journal databases to access E- resources.

Smartphones are becoming increasingly popular in students‟ lives for variety of purposes. Advancement in mobile technologies has demonstrated that they provide great potentials for educational and academic use. In this paper an attempt has been made to investigate into the use of smart phones for academic purposes by the Research Scholars (RS) at Visva-Bharati Central Library. The present study also investigates the perception of Research Scholars on proposed Smartphone- based resources and services if they are offered by their university. The findings suggest that smartphone can be very useful as an educational tool. The findings also reveal that the respondents‟ perception on the application of smartphone in the context of Library and Information services is found to be very positive.

The paper analyses the literature produced in Parkinson’s research during the last decade (2008-2017) from the Asian countries using scientometric methods. The data was taken from the ISI Web of Science. Using Microsoft excel the data was analyzed. There was no correlation between productivity and impact factor. Though China is found to be ahead of all Asian countries in productivity, its impact factor is less than Japan and Israel. Open access articles were cited more than limited access articles.

Institutional digital repository is also an important field in present and next generation automated and digital library system. Now, this paper is present how to import metadata formats from different database by EPrints for the development of institutional digital repository. There are different types of metadata formats available in open source environment but this paper is shows some high and matured level software for development and designing this integrated framework. However, in this section has a show how to data import from Koha, Emerald, D-Space, and Vu-Find for the better management of digital information services among the users as well as library professionals.

The paper investigated the use of open access and licensed electronic books by the research scholars in academic and research institutions in Karnataka. The rate of response is 92.5%. In addition to questionnaire method, interview schedule and observation method were also used to collect required information. It is clear from the study that a large number of research scholars rely upon open access and licensed e-books for academic and research purposes. The institutions have to subscribe large number of e-books for target users and proper training should be given to maximize utilization of open access and licensed e-books.

Yoga is a mind-body exercise. Yogic breathing is a unique method for balancing the autonomic nervous system and influencing psychological and stress-related disorders. Yoga breathing (pranayama) can rapidly bring the mind to the present moment and reduce stress. This article presents the highly cited papers from yoga research output using different scientometric approach both quantitative and qualitative methods. Scientometric data for the study has been collected from Web of Science online database. A search was conducted with the phrase ‘yoga’ in the address field. An analysis of 4090 publications published by scientists during 1989 to 2018 and indexed by Web of Science online Database indicates that the publication output. Most of the prolific authors are from the highly productive institutions. This work is to provide a profile of Research Publication at global level. This includes tracking the number of papers, scatter of papers over journals, and its effect on publication output, authors’ institutional affiliations and authorship patterns.

This paper examined the availability, accessibility and utilization of information resources in School libraries in Maiduguri and Damaturu Metropolis, Nigeria. The study determined the resources available in all the school libraries in terms of their types and formats that is, print and non- print information resources available in the library. The study adopted survey research design. The entire target population that is, 90 students from school libraries in Maiduguri and Damaturu Metropolis were purposively used. A self-designed questionnaire was used to extract responses from the students of the schools under study. Six objectives were formulated to guide the conduct of the study. Four research questions were generated and answered, and two null hypotheses were tested. Frequency count and percentages were used to answer the research questions and Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance, using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. The findings of the study revealed that, textbooks were the major information resources that were available in the school libraries. More so, the information resources found in the school libraries in Maiduguri and Damaturu metropolis were accessible. The students utilized the information resources on a daily basis but yet not satisfied with the information resources found in the schools libraries in Maiduguri and Damaturu metropolis. It was recommended that the governments should put more priority on adequate provision of fund necessary for the provision of current and up to date information resources and also for the employment of qualified and trained teacher-librarian in all school libraries in Maiduguri and Damaturu Metropolis.

This study conducted to find out the electronic information/resources access and seeking behavior of engineering college students in Vellore district. Objective- of the paper is to identify the availability of e-resources, awareness, usage level, level of satisfaction and barriers during access of the students. Methodology-a systematic questionnaire designed and distributed among the Engineering College library users. After data collection analysis of the study done. Findings – It is observed from the data analysis most of the UG Students are using Google as their search engine and they prefer DELNET also on the other hand PG students and faculty prefer all subscribed resources for their teaching and learning. There is a less awareness about the commercial resources among the students. Suggestions were given to improve the infrastructure and need orientation programme for all category of users.

The Digital Divide, also called the Digital Split, is a socio-economic issue referring to the differing amount of information between those who have access to the Information through various means and those who do not have access. The term became popular among various stake holders from various disciplines such as scholars, policy makers, and social activists across the globe in the late 1990s. The present study tries to understand the digital divide among the undergraduate students of Kashmir division of J&K state of India. The scope of study is limited to two Districts viz. District Kupwara and Srinagar. The study tries to find out various factors beyond the digital divide among the students studying in rural and urban areas, and provide ample solution to minimize the same. The research was conducted using survey method, for data collection, questionnaire method of data was applied. The research revealed that male students are way ahead in making use of digital media as compared to female and the students from urban background make more use of digital content as compared to rural students. The major reasons for disparity in the use of digital media (internet) is lack of infrastructure viz. broadband, wireless internet, awareness and lack of training institutions for rendering training in rural areas s compared to urban areas.
