A survey method was used in this study.Students and faculty members working at 9 different Engineering Colleges in the Mysore region make up the sampled population. The survey included 654 library registered students and faculties for the 2019-2020 academic year. The study's sample size was 228 users (144 students and 84 faculty members), who were chosen using simple random selection method. The data was composed using self-generated form that was validated by professionals.
