Abstract

Libraries are facing new challenges, and new technologies have facilitated the transformation of data into digital format. A library researcher has the facility of having 24/7 access to information in whatever format they require. In this changing environment, the information usage pattern of the clientele has taken new dimensions. The present study is an attempt to analyse the information seeking and usage pattern of the clientele of a University Library with Madurai Kamaraj University Library as a case study.

Keywords: Digital format; Information usage; Maduari Kamaraj University Library.
