Abstract

The concept of information use pattern of students, which advocates the preparation of people to be successful users of information, addresses the concerns librarians have with the evolving nature of information sources and the overwhelming amount of information available. Those outside of the field library science have also acknowledged the effects of the exponential growth of information. In this study, 30% of the students visit the library daily. 31.81% of the students visit the library for Academic Improvement. More than half of the students preferred to read textbooks in the Library. A majority of the students use the Internet for the preparation of examination.
