• W154678329 abstract "1.1 Background to the study By the turn of the 21st century, library automation and the Internet had revolutionized information access and library operations around the world. Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST) Library was able to take advantage of these developments to facilitate the process of teaching and learning. New modes of accessing information have emerged as a result of the Internet and World Wide Web. MUST students therefore are able to access up-to-date international literature as soon as it is published on the Internet. This has been profound, especially on academic institutions. Libraries in such institutions can now provide information access to off-campus students wherever they are located even to sites hundreds and thousands of miles away. Services have evolved from the days of closed stacks, through shelf browsing and card catalogues, punched cards and OPACS to the concept of open access and institutional repositories. This historical migration has brought satisfaction on the changing needs of library users, including ease of access to information resources (Cise 2006). In 2000, MUST library started with a dial-up based Internet service through info.com, a commercial internet service provider. The aim was to improve information delivery electronically. Over the years, the University Library acquired a number of computers that were connected to the Internet. The main objective of IT investment in the Library was to enhance accessibility to information resources so as to achieve optimum usage levels; it would also facilitate access to international information resources on the World Wide Web. In 2004, Mbarara University Library integrated Information Communication Technology (ICT) in all its functions in order to improve the delivery of its services. The International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publication (INASP) UK enhanced these efforts through the Programme for Enhancement of Research Information (PERI), Uganda. The objective was to support capacity building in the research sectors especially in University Libraries in developing countries by strengthening the production, access and dissemination of information and knowledge (INASP 2003). The collaboration between Lund University in Sweden and MUST helped the library to strengthen ICT capacity where over 60 computers were connected to the Internet. According to MUST Strategic Plan (2008-2013), the University is planning to invest more in e-resources than in print materials. Electronic information usage in MUST Library is a shift from print materials to electronic information materials and services in the form of CD-ROMS, e-books, e-databases, electronic journals, electronic current awareness service and information subject gateways, accessed through the internet. This means that students are able to utilize these resources for effective research and of better quality. 1.2 Problem Whereas accessing electronic information resources offers opportunities to obtain accurate and timely literature, observation shows that there is low usage of e-resources in Mbarara University library. This is evident from library statistics, register records and from information obtained verbally. According to MUST Library Annual Report (2008), low usage of electronic resources was cited as a challenge to the library management. Although the University Library conducts workshops, seminars and communicates to students regularly about the available e-resources, students are not effectively using electronic information resources. Some of the available electronic information resources have not been utilized at all. The library subscribes to a total of 10 electronic information resource packages which include full text electronic journals, current awareness services and bibliographic databases. There is also a provision of electronic document delivery yet on average less than 8 (eight) documents request forms are submitted in a month for articles in electronic journals, (Library Statistics, January - December 2009). …" @default.
