Abstract

The introduction, monitoring and management of Quality of Information Services is a benchmark for the performance of systems. The qualities of the data are essential to the acceptance of RIS services. Users will only rely on libraries which are an integral part of any academic system. The quality of data of RIS services can be expressed in terms of accuracy, reliability, age, correctness, completeness etc. The present article lights on the information seeking behaviour of P.G. Students and faculty members of G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand, India. The study focuses on the ICT facilities provided and the satisfaction level of users, quantum of time spent in libraries and the habit of visiting other libraries by the respondents.
