The core purpose of the survey was to explore the information seeking behavior of the
faculty members in the digital environment and also to get aware how faculty
members of the business school access electronic information resources while
hunting for the desired information. A questionnaire was circulated to thirty faculty
members of Sinhgad Institute of Business Administration and Research, Pune. The
overall response rate was 86.66%. Survey revealed that majority of the respondents
are well aware and have a lot of knowledge about electronic information resources; it
was found that prima facie most of the time faculty members use both i.e. subscribed
as well as open source electronic information resources for locating the desired
information. Majority of the respondents prefer to locate for full text as well as abstract
form of information. Research, Lecture preparations and publications are found to be
the core purposes of accessing electronic information resources. In order to overcome
the hindrances in accessing the electronic information resources among the faculty
members, the study recommends that the awareness programs, hands on training
sessions, product demos, orientation on web searching and retrieval skills should be
organized at regular intervals.
