This study adopted survey method and questionnaire tool used to collect primary data from the respondents. A wellstructured questionnaire has been circulated among 691 faculty members and students whereas 686 respondents were responded. Based on the findings, this study recommended that, libraries need to take necessary steps in order to visit users on daily basis; library should attract users to use variety of resources other than books and periodicals. Library should promote the use of documents such as Audiovisual material, e-resources and theses and dissertations etc. The study also recommended that, the library need to procure relevant documents in order to support their curriculum, and need to arrange the documents in a helpful manner. Libraries need to purchase sufficient numbers of multiple copies; library professionals should assist the users and need to give proper orientation to use various resources and services. Further, this study suggested the college authority should change their policy to keep the library in open access and must provide state-of-art ICT tools to the library.

The survey method was adopted and the questionnaire tool was used for data collection. A total of 6 pharmacy colleges have been selected for this study. The findings of the study shows that, all libraries selected under this study do not receive any funds from the government or UGC, they merely depend on student fees and institutional funds. The majority of Pharmacy college libraries under this study have not purchased library resources according to the norms of AICTE. Only 50% of libraries have partially automated, only two libraries using barcode technology and two libraries have OPAC facility. As far as e-resource is concerned HELINET consortium is common among all libraries. This study recommends that libraries need to have staff pattern as per the norms of AICTE. Pharmacy college libraries need to add a variety of resources such as patents, research reports, encyclopaedias, yearbooks, etc. to meet the information needs of the user community. The higher authority needs to provide a sufficient budget to improve the resources, services and infrastructure of the library.

A literature review involves identifying relevant literature or sources of relevant information physically accessing the most relevant literature, reading and analyzing the previous works. Here the author has undertaken a research study entitled 'Use of Library Resources and Services in selected Pharmacy Colleges in Karnataka. As a part of the literature survey, the present study has been conducted. This study aims to identify, collect, and review the literature related to the present study. There are 33 core articles have been reviewed, and those are classified under five major headings viz., Use of Library and Information Resources, Use of Library and Information Services, User's awareness and use of electronic information resources, Satisfaction of Users about information resources and services, Information Seeking behaviour.

The sample selected 25% from the population and a simple random sampling technique was used for the sample selection. A Survey was conducted to collect the data through a structured questionnaire distributed among the teachers and students of SSCP Tumakuru. Wikipedia is the major e-resource of information for males (42.11%) as well as female (43.28%) respondents. E-journals are the most used e-resource to a greater extent (50%) followed by online databases, search engines. HELINET is the most familiar database among the faculty members whereas Medline and PubMed are the familiar databases among the students. Low-speed internet is the most frequently faced problem by faculty members (71.43%) and students (60.91%). Higher authorities need to take action to solve the internet connectivity problems to provide uninterrupted access to e-resources and enhancement of internet speed is also desirable. Library staff needs to assist the users while using electronic resources

To answer new demands they not only have to move their services and resources to the Web but also should consider the different cultural and educational backgrounds of library users. In this context this article tries to analyze and compare the contents and usability of six Indian Institute Management library Web sites and presents conclusions regarding the basic functions they perform. Library Web sites were evaluated according to a detailed checklist prepared specially for this purpose.
