Internet's rapid growth and broad penetration, along with affordable enabling Web 2.0 technologies, has not only democratized access to information but also catalyzed open access publishing which has contributed mainly to the explosion of freely available digital information. This phenomenon poses tremendous challenges, and opportunities, for libraries and librarians in delivering on their core mission of facilitating research, teaching, and learning in discovering, collecting, organizing and preserving invaluable knowledge from this vast information base. A web 2.0 site gives its users the free choice to interact or collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators of user generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them. Examples of Web 2.0 include social-networking sites, blogs, wikis, video-sharing sites, hosted services, web applications.Keywords

Today, the advent of information technology has resulted in reducing the size of libraries. In fact, these smaller modern libraries are rich potential of information. This has been possible due to the digitization of information. The digital and electronic information is based on digitized data/information, which has gradually replaced paper-based records. The internet is also making substantial inroads in patient care and dissemination of health care information. It is changing the way health sciences professionals obtain information. They use the internet and electronic resources to do things like accessing medical records, providing remote patient care through telemedicine facilities, and accessing health care literature. Medicine is among many other sciences, an area in which the expansion of information is enormous and which is critically dependent on up to date information. These factors have influenced the implementation of problem based learning approach in the medical education. Numerous search tools are available to locate appropriate sources and without these search tools, the chance of finding relevant information on the Web would be slim. Even with the help of search tools, users must be able to use sophisticated searching techniques and strategies of respective search tools in order to find relevant information. Results of the present study show that less than 2 hours of access to internet takes the first order reporting among the medical professionals of Tamil Nadu. 2-3 hours of access to internet the second, 3-4 hours of access to internet the third, 4-5 hours of access to internet the fourth and above 5 hours of access to internet the last. Study reveals that respondents have high problems in accessing e-resources in terms of virus, difficulty in using digital resources due to lack of IT knowledge and limited access to computers. The respondents have moderate problems in accessing relevant information and taking long time to view. The respondents have least problems towards slow accessibility, lack of time and too much information retrieved.Keywords

The information needs and information seeking behaviour of users are vital for developing library collections, services and facilities to meet their information needs effectively. The purpose of this study is to identify the information channels used by the Central Law College, Salem faculty members, information sources preferred by them, methods employed for getting the needed information and their library use pattern. A questionnaire was distributed to 64 law faculty members and 56 filled in questionnaires were returned, giving an overall response rate of 87.5 percent. It was found that respondents used various sources for acquiring the needed information. Books were ranked as the most important source for teaching and research purposes, followed by law reports and statutes. Respondents preferred to first consult their personal collection before resorting to other information providing sources and agencies. On the whole, respondents perceived the Central Law College library collections, services and facilities as adequate to meet their information needs effectively.Keywords
