Awareness and Utilization of ICT and e-Resources among the Veterinary Fraternity of ICAR–IVRI

Abstract

This study examines the awareness and use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and electronic resources among the researchers and faculty of the Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI). It explores the extent of ICT exposure, identifies the challenges users face, and provides recommendations for improvement. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire distributed to faculty members and researchers. The findings reveal that most respondents are aware of veterinary science e-resources and actively use databases, e-journals, and other digital tools for academic and research purposes. The study emphasizes the need for enhanced internet speed, expanded access infrastructure, and a broader subscription to e-resources to better serve the institute’s academic community.
