Abstract

The paper aims to determine the attitude of scientists towards electronic information resources (EIS) in the library of Institute of Microbial Technology, Chandigarh. The study further aims to investigate the satisfaction of the scientists towards (EIS). The findings reveal that access and use of e-information is an important component of research activities for scientists. E-journals, websites and email are most preferred e-resources and scientists are very highly satisfied with them. Also, research indicates that the INDEST and DST are the most preferred databases of access of information; there is a need to provide high bandwidth to overcome slow access speed.
