This research's main aim is to analyze the engineering college faculty members' practical usefulness of digital information resources during their purpose of library visits in the digital environment. Based on the aim, a pretested, standardized questionnaire was prepared and used as a data collection tool. The survey method is used for the collection of primary data. Tirupur and Coimbatore district Anna University affiliated Engineering College Teaching Faculty members are used as research subjects. There are 972 faculty members involved. Independent variables are gender, educational qualification, designation, and experience. The dependent variable is the effective use of digital sources. Tests of null and alternate hypotheses are framed to test the usefulness of digital resources.

In the last decade, scientometric studies get momentum due to extensive research activities in the domain. Out of the various kinds of studies, the research on individual journals and their contributions is gaining interest among researchers. We, in this work, have analyzed the 1169 contributions published in the IEEE Transactions on Education for twenty years between 2001 and 2020. An attempt is made to explore and discuss the article, year-wise and volume-wise authorship, the annual growth rate of publications, relative growth rate, doubling time, author’s productivity, and the single and multi-authored papers of the journal. The findings of the results revealed that the maximum number of publications ((7.36%) were published in the year 2005, whereas the minimum number (2.91%) were published in the year 2014. The degree of collaboration (DC) ranges, the relative growth rates (RGR), and doubling time (DT) has also been measured. The average number of authors per paper is 2.72, and the average productivity per author is 0.37. The highest number of documents for authors at an average is 3.27, which was published in 2016.

This study considers a wide range of services provided by the largest Russian and foreign to their users. The authors used the quantitative content analysis method. In this study library was considered as source of reliable information in comparison to Internet resources. The authors studied modern services that have become popular with the emergence of digital forms for verifying information. In this way, libraries seek to create an optimal approach to implement cognitive, memorial, and educational functions within their direct activities. Library has a clear opportunity to provide its users with a range of necessary services and it can become one of the key actors in providing reliable information. Read More Read Less
