Abstract:
Information seeking behavior is an important aspect of learning the attitude of students. An attempt has been made in this study to understand the information seeking behavior of postgraduate engineering students of PES Institute of Technology. The primary data for this study has been collected through an online survey of 130 students belonging to various
disciplines of postgraduate engineering departments. The study reveals the frequency of library visit, the purpose of visiting
the library, types of facilities, services and resources availed by the students.
The paper also deals with a strategy for searching the documents sources, userâ€™s opinion, and user satisfaction with print and
e-resources. This study shows that most of the students are satisfied with library facilities. Based on the findings, the paper
gives recommendations to improve collections which might help other institutions which offer PG programs, and also help in promoting the various subscribed resources.
