Abstract:
Information and Communication Technologies (I.C.T.s) have erupted various opportunities for Library and Information Science Professionals (LIPS) to offer quality library resources and services at the desired place, time and the least cost, which is the prime motto of the library and information science profession. The prime objective of the study is to explore the utility and awareness of the N-List Databases (E-Books, E-Journals and E-Periodicals, etc.) by the Intellectual community of tribal regions with the particular reference of Shaheed Bhima Nayak (S.B.N.) Govt. P.G. College, Badwani, Madhya Pradesh, India. To know about the user's awareness, perceptions, and usability of N-List E-resources authors used survey methods and data gathered by the structured questionnaire designed and distributed among the Intellectual Community. More than 246 questionnaires were distributed, and more than 79 per cent of respondents gave effective responses which supported and helped fulfil the research objectives and elaborated the study's findings. The study explored that the intellectual community from the tribal regions need more attention to optimum utilization of Library E-resources and services due to less knowledge of technology and its applications.
