CHAPTER - V

ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

This chapter deals with the analysis of data, interpretation of data

and testing of hypotheses. In order to realize the objectives stated in

chapter III, a questionnaire was framed by the researcher and was

distributed to the respondents of six engineering colleges affiliated to

North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon. The completed questionnaires

were collected and analyzed. Two ways ANOVA and Chi – square test

were used to analyze and interpret the data.

Table - 5.16 shows that district wise respondents’ place of access to

e-resources in engineering colleges affiliated to North Maharashtra University.

Out of 737 total respondents the highest 623 (84.53%) of them accessing

e-resources in college library whereas 584 (79.24%) of them accessing in

cybercafé. A considerable number of respondents 169 (22.93%) accessing in

Home/hostel and minimum 66 (8.96%) of the respondents in friend’s home.

160

It is observed that the highest 215 (95.56%) respondents from Dhule

district accessing e-resources in their college library and in same district 194

(86.22%) of them accessing e-resources private cybercafé also. Whereas 164

(64.82%) of them from Jalgaon district and 187 (64.48%) of them from

Nandurbar district accessing e-resources in the home and hostel.

It could be deducted from the above table that a lowest number of

respondents from each district accessing e-resources in their friend’s home.


respondents from every district accessing e-resources in their college library as

well as in cybercafé.

It is inferred from the above table that there is no association among

district wise respondents’ place of access to e-resources in engineering colleges

affiliated to North Maharashtra University. Since the P-value is not significant.

Therefore it is concluded that the null hypothesis is accepted.

Table – 5.18 shows that district wise respondents’ time spent on use of


Among 737 total respondents the highest 433 (58.75 %) of the respondents

spent 26-50 per cent time to visit the library website and 337 (45.73%) of the

respondents spent below 25 per cent of their time to search the online catalog.

Whereas the highest 404 respondents spent their 26-50 per cent time to search

data bases. But 369 (50.07%) respondents spent 26-50 per cent of their time to

use e-books.

full article and 325 (44.10%) of the respondents spent below 25 per cent of the

is time for online reference work.

Regarding district wise of the respondents the highest 71.54 per cent of

respondents belongs to Jalgaon district spent their 26-50 per cent of their time

on browse e-journal whereas in Dhule district the highest 58.22 per cent of the

respondents spent below 25 per cent of their time on search the online catalog.

respondent’s, 647 (87.79%) of them satisfied with existing IT infrastructure

facilities and reaming 90 (12.21%) of the not satisfied.

It is observed that the highest 232 (91.70%) respondents belongs to

Nandurbar District satisfied with existing IT infrastructure facility and it is

followed by 201 (89.93%) respondents from Dhule district and 214 (84.58%)

respondents belongs to Jalgaon district satisfied with existing IT infrastructure

facilities available in their college library.

Table – 5.40 shows that district wise respondents’ use of power point

presentation in Teaching and seminar class in engineering colleges affiliated to

North Maharashtra University. Out of 737 total respondents the highest 231

(89.19%) of the respondents belongs to Nandurbar District used power point

presentation in teaching and seminar classes and it is followed by Dhule and

Jalgaon district with 84 per cent and 81.03 per cent respectively.

It could be deducted from the above discussion that more than 80 per

cent of the respondents from every districts using power point presentation in

seminar classes and among the district Nandurbar districts respondents are more

in number using power point.

Table – 5.44 shows that district wise respondents’ preference to

electronic resources over printed resources in engineering colleges affiliated to

North Maharashtra University. Out of 737 total respondents 466 (62.23%) of

them preferred electronics resources of information and 87 (11.80%) of them

preferred printed resources and 184 (24.97%) of them preferred both electronic

and printed equally.

It is also seen from the table that among three districts the highest 168

(64.86%) of the respondents belongs to Nandurbar district preferred electronic

resources whereas 16.89 per cent respondents belongs to Dhule district

226

preferred printed resources and more than 30 per cent of the respondents from

Jalgaon district preferred both electronic and printed resources.


the respondents preferred electronic resources over printed resources and at the

same time nearly 25 per cent of the respondents preferred both type of

information.

It is inferred from the above table that there is an association among

district wise respondents’ Preference of Electronic resources over printed

resource. Since the P-value is significant. Therefore it is concluded that the null

hypothesis is rejected and alternate hypothesis is accepted.

Table – 5.48 shows that district wise respondents’ constraints faced

while accessing e-resources in engineering colleges affiliated to North

Maharashtra University. Out of 253 respondents, the highest 110 (43.48%) and

96 (37.94%) of them belongs to Jalgaon district faced the problems of ‘limited

working hours’ and ‘frequent power failure’ respectively.

Among the respondents in the Dhule district the highest 96 (42.67%) of

them and 61 (27.11%) of them faced the ‘problem of downloading article’ and

‘unawareness of the availability of the e-resources’ respectively.

More number of respondents belongs to Jalgaon district faced the

problems ‘slow system speed & network capacity’ and ‘unawareness of the

accessing mechanism’ compared to other district respondents.

‘Lack of adequate access point’ and ‘high cost to access’ are the major

problem faced by more number of respondents belongs to Dhule district where

as ‘lack of training programme to access’ and use of the e-resources and

‘information scattered in two many sources’ are the major problem faced by

more number of respondents belongs to Jalgaon district compared to other

districts.

It is also noticed from the table that the highest 37.33 per cent of the

respondents, 31.11 per cent respondents and 9.78 per cent of the respondents

belongs to Dhule district faced by the problems of ‘irrelevant information’,

‘lack of subject gateways’ and ‘lack of printing facilities’ respectively.

238

It could be seen from the above table that irrespective of the district 66

per cent of the respondents faced the major problem ‘lack of adequate access

point’ and nearly 60 per cent of the respondents faced the problem of ‘slow

system speed and network capacity’.

It is also seen from the above table that ‘lack of printing facilities’ is the

least problem faced by every district respondents under study.

Table - 5.50 shows that district wise respondents’ opinion on level of

satisfaction with e-resources in engineering colleges affiliated to North

Maharashtra University. Out of 737 total respondents from the sample

colleges 486 (65.94%) of them ‘very satisfied’, 188 (25.51%) of them

‘satisfied’, 49 (06.65%) of them ‘somewhat satisfied’ and 14 (01.90%) of them
