Present study reports empirical findings on the user adequacy and services of library collections among research scholars of university of Mysore. A total of 68 research scholars pursuing their Ph.D degree in various social and biological sciences were randomly selected of which 57 were male research scholars and 11 were female research scholars. A pre determined structured questionnaire on user adequacy and services of library collection was administered to the selected respondents. The data analysis was done using chi-square. Results revealed that in the case of library collections majority opined that only news papers and magazines are adequate. Reference books, text books, journals, thesis and dissertations were found to be moderately adequate as perceived by research scholars. Maps, atlases and charts, and electronic resources were found to be inadequate by the research scholars. In the case of library services, reference services, referral services, newspaper clippings, reprographic services and internet services were found to be good. Selective dissemination of information, current awareness service, indexing and abstracting services were found to be poor.Keywords

The main purpose of this study was to determine users dependency on electronic and print journals by the most frequently users of journals-research scholars and faculty in Iran. A total of 118 faculty members and research scholars were selected. A questionnaire was prepared by the investigator and administered to the selected sample. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used. The results showed that the majority of users had high dependency on electronic journals. Furthermore, the level of awareness and use of e-journals as well as preferred format of journals by the users were discussed in this paper.Keywords
