Users’ perceptions of print and e-Journals: A case study of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana, India

This study investigates the perceptions of PhD scholars and faculty at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University (CCSHAU) regarding print and e-journals. It explores awareness, preferences, and reasons for using both journal formats. The literature review highlights growing trend towards greater use of e-journals. A structured questionnaire was distributed to 100 PhD scholars and faculty members at CCSHAU. The findings reveal a strong awareness of both print and e-journals, with a slight preference for e-journals due to features such as 24/7 accessibility and ease of use. Print journals are favored for comfortable reading. Internet sources play a significant role in raising awareness. The paper provides valuable insights into journal format preferences among the academic community at CCSHAU.
