Paper reports on the evaluation of six search engines viz., Yahoo, Google, Altavista, Lycos, Excite and Hotbot. The findings indicate that search results of each of the search engines vary significantly from one another. It is found that Altavista searched more number of sites (45,448) while Excite searched least number of sites (283). In case of relevancy of search engines majority of relevant sites were found in case of Google (28%) followed by Yahoo (26%) and Altavista (20%). Further analysis shows that more number of irrelevant sites found in case of Hotbot (61.6%), Lycos (59.6%) and Alatavista (54.8%).Keywords
Internet, Search Engines:Yahoo, Google, Altavista, Lycos, Excite, Hotbot.

The objective of this study is to identify and to evaluate Physics reference sources available on web. Result of the study shows that 52% of Web based sources contain the author's name and remaining 48% of Web based sources have no author's name. Among 404 Web based sources, 27% of them belong to commercial domains (.com) followed by educational domain (19.6%) and organisational (8.4%). Study also reports that 86.9% of dictionary and glossary's content is arranged in alphabetical order followed by subjectwise arrangement (13.1%). In case of encyclopedia 71.4% of source's content is organised in alphabetical order and only 28.6% is subjectwise arrangement.Keywords

Study attempted to identify the usefulness of 1ibrary collection and information use pattern by sericulture scientists. Result shows reports (52%). conference papers. textbooks, bibliographical sources (each 48%) and primary periodicals (46%) are frequently used sources. Study also shows sericulture scientists not only depend upon their own institute library collection but also a large number of scientists depend upon agricultural libraries (42%) and other sericulture libraries (34%).Keywords
