Abstract:
Information is knowledge, facts or data. For the purpose of enabling the users to assimilate information,
it should be repacked. Knowledge becomes information when it is externalized i.e. put in to the
process of communication. The effectiveness of communication technology depends how well it
provides its clients with information rapidly, economically and authentically. A large number of ICT
enabled services including OPAC; e-resources etc. are available in the university library. Studies
have been done to find the impact of ICT on different sections of CUSAT library by observing the
activities of different sections; discussions with colleagues and visitors; and analyzing the entries in
the library records. The results of the studies are presented here in the form of a paper.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to examine the information-seeking behavior of science and
social science research scholars, including service effectiveness, satisfaction level on different type of
sources and various methods adopted by the scholars for keeping up to dateData were gathered using a questionnaire survey of 200, randomly
selected, PhD students of science and social science departments of four universities in Kerala, IndiaAlthough similarities exist between social science and science PhD students with regard to
information-seeking behavior, there are significant differences as well. There is a significant difference
between science and social science scholars on the perception of the adequacy of print journals and
database collection which are very relevant to the research purposes. There is no significant difference
between science and social science scholars on the perception of the adequacy of e-journals, the most
used source for keeping up to date. The study proved that scholars of both the fields are dissatisfied
with the effectiveness of the library in keeping them up to date with latest developments
