| Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of scholarly electronic journals at
the Indian Institute of Science. The paper examines the methodology and results from
a questionnaire-based survey of networked electronic services in India at the Indian
Institute of Science (IISc) libraries serving a variety of disciplines. A random sample
of the main cohort was selected and during five months from January 2004 till May
2004, 700 copies of the questionnaire were distributed among forty departments of
IISc; 397 completed and valid questionnaires (56.7 percent) were received. The
results showed a growing interest in electronic journals among the users at the IISc.
The electronic journals were mostly used for research needs and PDF format was the
most preferred format. The fact that users have free access to electronic journals at all
hours from their own computers seems to be the most appealing feature. |
