Abstract:
This paper aims to explore undergraduate students' awareness and practice of open access resources across various colleges, along with related issues under the University of Calcutta. The study employed a questionnaire-based survey method, distributing 180 questionnaires, of which 152 students completed and returned the questionnaire. Results indicate that 72 (47.36%) students frequently utilised e-books or e-journals, while 58 (38.15%) obtained their usage skills to open access e-resources through teachers or research guides. Additionally, 98 (64.47%) respondents expressed satisfaction with open-access e-content. The research work findings reveal that most students are knowledgeable about open-access e-resources.
