Abstract

Research Support Services are a significant part of academic institutions. The present study is conducted on the use of research support services. A quantitative method is used to collect primary data from 81 Research Scholars of the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Kurukshetra using questionnaires to estimate the impact. The study found that most of the respondents are aware of RSS, and 73(14.23%) respondents use technological services/internet facilities for research support services, followed by 68(13.25%) who use remote login access services. The study also reveals that 62(24.70%) research scholars of NIT responded that research support services are more informative in comparison to traditional services of the Library.
