6. CONCLUSION
The results of the study indicate that the internet facilities in the central library
are being well used by the research scholars and faculty in sciences. Although most of
the users are well aware about the internet and its tools but still the library
professionals can contribute a lot. As library professionals are well versed with
indexing and searching techniques hence these techniques can be taught to the users
of internet. The major problems of the respondents are down of internet server, speed
of internet and timings of the internet lab. The library should take some steps for
enhancing the speed of internet and timings of the lab.
