Abstract

Impact of ICT on Information Seeking Behaviour of Users in Pharmacy Colleges in Vidarbha Region

Author(s): Sachin P. Dhande* and Shashikant G. Rokade

This study examines the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on the information-seeking behavior of users in pharmacy colleges in the Vidarbha region. The three state universities in Vidarbha division include Nagpur University, Amravati University and Gondwana University Gadchiroli. A total of 1150 questionnaires were distributed across 32 colleges, with 1033 respondents, yielding a response rate of 89.83%. Data for the study were collected through a questionnaire addressing the information demands and needs of both students and teachers in the pharmacy department. The analysis underscores that despite the current advancements in ICT, many users are drawn to utilizing library resources and services regularly for their academic study. Although there is agreement among students and faculty regarding the positive impact of ICT facilities on their studies, the currently available ICT facilities are not sufficient to meet users' needs. The recommendation is to upgrade internet and computer facilities.
