Abstract:
|
This study attempted to investigate students’ perceptions toward the use of the digital library
for higher learning. Attention was given to three variables namely sex, year of study, level
of course. A Likert – type instrument consisting of 10 items was designed to collect information
about students perceptions. The respondents of this study were 72 students enrolled in
various Post-graduate courses at Bishop Heber College, Tiruchirappalli. Collected data
were analysed using ANOVA (Analysis of Variance). The overall results suggest that students
had positive perceptions toward the use of digital library. Sex, year and level of course were
found to be significant factors. Females, first year students and social science students had
significantly positive perceptions. Implications for practices are discussed and
recommendations are made for future research. |
