Abstract


The paper aims to identify the awareness and use of the N-LIST Consortium by the faculty members of selected colleges affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune. A Structured Questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection. The analysis is based on the responses given by 150 faculty members. The result shows that the faculty members are aware of the N-LIST resources and are using mainly for updating their domain knowledge and for teaching purpose. Some faculties faced some barriers such as lack of knowledge in accessing the resources and slow internet speed. The study demands for organizing regular training programmes to the faculties so that they would be properly trained in accessing the N-LIST e-resources.
