Abstract


The study was taken up in Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), Coimbatore. TNAU offered PG programme in 22 disciplines and among them 10 disciplines were selected. The sample size was 40 students consisting 20 post graduates and 20 doctoral programme students using Simple Random Sampling technique. Four students were selected from each of the 10 selected departments using simple random sampling technique. Percentage analysis was used for data analysis. About two-third of the students referred online journals for their purpose of assignment, seminar and research. Majority of the students faced the problems like getting user name, password, long time to download an article, read only content and limited availability of online journals are the major difficulties faced in access and usage of online journals. These problems could be addressed to enhance the learning of online journals among the students of TNAU.
