TITLE :USE OF DIGITAL RESOURCES IN  GOVERNMENT UNIVERSITIES LIBRARIES IN HARYANA: A STUDY

ABSTRACT:  Digital has become an important part of library collections. The article presents a study conducted to find out the status of digital in selected university libraries of Haryana. The study is based on primary data collected using self-designed questionnaires from three well-established, multi-disciplinary state universities of Haryana, GJU Hisar, HAU Hisar and Chaudhary Bansi Lal University. The study found that among the many resources offered by the GJU Hisar library are e-books, purchased or subscribed from EBSCO (Academic e-Books Collection), JSTOR, Emerald, Institute of Physics, The MIT Press, Wiley-IEEE Press, Cambridge University Press and McGraw Hill Express Library. In addition, the National Digital Library of India programme has made accessible about 7 lakh e-books from South Asia Archive (SAA) and World e-Book Library. HAU library provides good facilities to students. Like GJU, it provides e-resources and e-books and e-journals. GJU and HAU libraries use open access databases like Open Access Repositories (DOAR), Chaudhary Bansi Lal University provides only e-Pro Quest packages as e-resources. It does not provide e-books. But in future it will provide this facility to students. University libraries in Haryana need to subscribe to more e-resources. All the three university libraries are automated and using Koha software.
