questionnaire was disseminated (169) one hundred sixty-nine, respondents (One hundred forty-six respondents from IITR,
Lucknow) and (159) one hundred fifty-nine, responded (144 one hundred forty-four) from NBRI, Lucknow. The results which
were specified to weighted mean and percentages showed that the respondents excellent and very good exposed Purposes of
using search engines and knowledge portals the usefulness of quality of information available on search engines and
knowledge portals with the weighted mean methods. The results from the study, it is obvious that the scientists and researchers
using search engines and knowledge portals for their academic and research work. For this they too much depend on search
engines and knowledge portals. They are using for different purposes and usefulness and quality of search engines and
portals. The scientists and researchers IITR and NBRI were know about the privacy and security and technical audacity of
