Driven: Inside BMW, the Most Admired Car Company in the World
by David Kiley
Here is an exclusive look at one of the world's most successful and controversial companies, and the mysterious family behind it. BMW is arguably the ... Show synopsis Here is an exclusive look at one of the world's most successful and controversial companies, and the mysterious family behind it. BMW is arguably the most admired carmaker in the world. It's financial performance is the envy of its competitors, and BMW products inspire near-fanatical loyalty. While many carmakers struggle with falling sales, profits, and market share, demand for BMWs continues to grow, frequently outpacing production. Now, David Kiley, Detroit bureau chief at USA Today and author of "Getting the Bugs Out," which covered Volkswagen's demise and rebirth, goes inside the fabled German automaker to see how it does what it does so well. With unprecedented access to BMW executives, Kiley goes behind the walls of BMW's famed "Four Cylinders" headquarters in Munich at a time when the company is in its most aggressive, and some say riskiest, expansion in its history, and when some of the company's new products, like the 7 Series sedan and Z4 roadster, are for the first time drawing as many barbs from critics as bouquets. Kiley covers intimate details of the boardroom drama surrounding the company's nearly disastrous acquisition and subsequent sale of the British Rover Group and its expansion into selling MINI and Rolls Royce cars. Besides being a world-class carmaker, BMW is also considered one of the smartest consumer marketing companies and Kiley explores the extraordinary value and management of the BMW brand mystique. He also takes a revealing look at the mysterious and ultra-private Quandt family of Bad Homburg Germany, which owns a controlling stake in BMW: Johanna and Susanne Quandt, two of the wealthiest women in Europe, and Stefan Quandt, one of the wealthiest bachelors on the continent.

State representative from Kansas City arrested in Boone County
Updated On: Aug 26 2013 06:36:40 PM CDT
A Missouri state representative was arrested Sunday afternoon for failing to appear in court and possession of marijuana.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Jeremy LaFaver (D-Kansas City) had misdemeanor warrants from Moniteau County for failing to appear on traffic offenses. Troopers say they also found less than 35 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
During this year's general assembly, LaFaver co-sponsored a bill to reduce penalties for possessing less than 35 grams of marijuana to a misdemeanor punishable by no more than a $250 fine.
Highway patrol officials tell ABC 17 News troopers stopped LaFaver and arrested him for failing to appear in court for a ticket in Moniteau County for an expired license tag and no insurance. When troopers put him in handcuffs, they also searched his car and found a small amount of marijuana and a pipe.
"When an individual is run through the system and there's a warrant out for their arrest, no matter who they are, a representative or any individual, they need to take care of that warrant immediately," Highway Patrol Sgt. Paul Reinsch said.
LaFaver released a statement to the website PoliticMo Sunday, saying the following:
"I made a serious mistake, I apologize for it, and I am prepared to face the consequences of my behavior. I want to stress that I was not operating under the influence. I deeply regret the embarrassment I have caused my family and the people of the 25th District by this incident. I want to assure my constituents that I have received no special considerations, nor do I expect to be treated differently than any other citizen in my situation."
Since his arrest, LaFaver asked to step aside as chair of the House Democratic Victory Committee on Monday morning:
"The goal of electing Democrats to the House is too important to the middle class men and women of Missouri for my personal embarrassment to become a distraction, and I have therefore asked the Minority Leader to let me step down from the chairmanship," LaFaver said in a statement.
House Democratic leaders said they're accepting his resignation from the Democratic Victory Committee, but will not ask him to resign.
"I think that's a decision he has to decide based on what he feels is best for himself, or his family, and for his constituents," House assistant minority floor leader Gail McCann Beatty said.
The Missouri Republican Party released a different statement saying LaFaver needs to "walk the walk and take genuine responsibility by resigning from the Missouri House of Representatives. LaFaver has broken trust with the people by behaving with direct and open disrespect for the law and courts."
Minority floor leader, Jacob Hummel, is planning to take over LaFaver's spot in the Victory Committee. Democratic leaders said they're going to let the legal process run its course before they do anything else. So far, there is no indication from any reports that LaFaver is planning on resigning from the House.

Its most common use is induction over well ordered sets, such as natural numbers, or ordinals. While induction can be expanded to class relations which are well-founded, this tag is aimed mostly at questions about induction over natural numbers.

Instead of a standard headboard, add drama to your bedroom by hanging a bold textile behind your head. Use a sisal, shag or flat-weave kilim rug or try a tapestry, throw or bedspread.
By Joanne Palmisano, Salvage SecretsMore in Decorating
Headboards can be hard to make. Not this one. If you're not comfortable cutting wood, or don't have the tools, have the hardware store cut the wood to size. The rest is easy. Here's what you'll need to make this headboard: a rug (approx. 5' x 7'); (6) 1x4 x 6' pine; (2) 1x4 x 8' or (1) 1x8 x8' pine; 1 box of cut tacks (size #14 – 3/4"); (4) 1-1/2" corner braces; 2-1/2" wood screws; paint in the color of your rug (sample size); drill gun and bits; chop saw; table saw; measuring tape; framing square; level and a hammer.

Roof Repair FAQs in Princeton
Strong winds blew some shingles off the roof. Can the damaged areas be patched up?
Most of the time your roofing contractor will be able to replaced damaged or lost shingles caused by a hail or wind storm. The roofer will install new shingles, along with any necessary sheathing, gutters or underlayment. It's usually a quick and relatively inexpensive repair.
If the extent of the damage is quite severe, it may be worth exploring a shingle roof replacement, especially if the existing shingles are more than 10-15 years old. The average lifespan of a shingle roof is 10-17 years; in this case, replacing all of the shingles may be a more cost-effective option.
DIY roofing repairs vs. hiring a licensed roofing contractor
It's never a good idea to do your own roof repair if you have no roofing experience. Even if you have some roofing experience, it's always smart to call a roofing contractor in the Princeton area to come take a look at the roof before trying to fix it yourself. The cost savings of a DIY job may be less than you think. Plus, doing your own roofing repairs may void the warranty of the roof. These are all things to consider before tackling the repair job on your own.

The new real estate investor asked, "Bill, can you help me put together a deal?"
"Sure," I answered. "What kind of creative deal do you need help putting together?"
"It needs to be one of those subject-to deal thingamajigs, combined with a land-trust doohickey," she replied.
I paused to consider what she had just said. I asked, "A doohickey? Have you ever done a subject-to deal or worked with a land trust before?"
"Not yet. This will be my first time to use either technique," she explained.
It reminded me of something Jack Miller (God rest his wise soul) once said: Speed, greed and ignorance equals a real estate investing train wreck. So true – especially in this case!
Why is it that new investors think they can take one or two classes and then know all there is to know about real estate investing? Sure, we're morphing into an impatient society that wants instant gratification, but most things still take a lot of time to master – about 10,000 hours! There's no single class to take or computer app to get that will allow you to know all there is to know about…

Many opinion leaders prominently featured in media and other communication channels, including social networks, know very little about Business Aviation. In fact, the entire segment of we call General Aviation is a mystery to most of the public.
We define General Aviation by what it is not: It's not the airlines, it's not military aviation. Those broad classes of aviation are familiar to the public and easily identified. GA is everything else. Something is missing when we fail to identify General Aviation by its unique characteristics and benefits.
Residing under the wide umbrella of General Aviation is the segment we call Business Aviation. Little wonder that the use of general aviation aircraft for business transportation—i.e., Business Aviation—is not well understood. Consequently our community too often is the target for pejorative rhetoric by politicians as well as some who wish to stir discontent and envy between different economic strata.
Business Aviation is simply a highly useful and productive form of air transportation. It is not a substitute for the airlines. The use of business aircraft is complementary rather than competitive to scheduled air carriers, providing access to 10 times the number of airports that have any form of airline service and 100 times the locations with business-friendly schedules. Business Aviation provides access by air to locations the airlines do not serve and do not want to serve. Travel between many places in rural America and throughout the world is not economically viable for the scheduled air carriers.
Furthermore, Business Aviation itself is broad, encompassing aircraft of all types and sizes used in various applications ranging from owner-flown business trips to charter, fractional ownership and corporate flight operations.
Corporations and entrepreneurs need to travel. Even in this age of Internet and smartphones, nothing replaces the benefits of being face-to-face with clients and business partners. Thus when companies must position their people to various locations, they select the scheduled airlines when that form of transport provides the most cost-effective means of movement and Business Aviation when using a business aircraft provides a more productive use of travel time. Studies by leading research firms such as Harris Interactive show that business aircraft are highly effective in adding productivity to a business person's travel time. Nearly 75 percent of passengers on company-owned aircraft are middle managers or technical specialists, not Mahogany Row types.
Thus it is understandable that member companies of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), the world's most active users of business jets, spend billions of dollars annually on airline tickets. When Robert Crandall, at the time President and Chairman of America Airlines, was the keynote speaker at the NBAA's 50th anniversary meeting, he said it was his pleasure to address his "best customers".
On a recent trip to Washington, DC, I spent a few minutes at the National Air and Space Museum's mall location. More than a decade ago, the NBAA sponsored an exhibit called "Business Wings" to provide a platform for expanding the public's understanding of why companies use business aircraft. The program occupied a sizable portion of the westernmost wing of the first floor hall and was seem by over 2,000,000 visitors during its two year or so run at the museum. Some aspects of the display remained for several more years.
I was disappointed to find no reference to Business Aviation during my brief jaunt through the NASM's location in the heart of our nation's capital. I understand that there is reference to business aircraft at the Museum's Hazy Center at Dulles, however. Educating the public and their opinion leaders is a practical necessity for obtaining legislation that assures access to airspace and airports for business aircraft as well as reasonable fees and taxes associated with Business Aviation. It is in our collective best interests as aviators with the knowledge and appreciation of all aspect of General Aviation to seize each opportunity to communicate the good news of our community.

Findings for PPC in Richmond
Richmond Ranks Amongst Most Expensive Markets for Keywords in Pacific States
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that Richmond was the 16th most expensive city in Pacific States in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of November 2014. Richmond also ranks amongst the most expensive cities in California, ranking 13rd. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in Pacific States for keywords, while Kent ranked as the least expensive city.
Month over Month Google Adwords Prices for Richmond Rise in November 2014
SEP's research shows that the average price of a click to advertisers targeting Richmond keywords increased by 23% in November 2014.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 60% Higher in Richmond than Berkeley
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Richmond are 60% higher than in Berkeley. The average price of a click in Richmond is $14.23.
This price differential is somewhat surprising however, as Berkeley has a larger population than Richmond.
To get a better sense of relative prices, we also compared prices with another city with a similar population, Murrieta, and found the average price of a click in Richmond was 110% higher than in Murrieta.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

Franz Xaver von Schlechta was one of a handful of Schubert's schoolfriends who remained in Vienna as members of the Schubert circle until the composer's death. What he lacked in talent as a poet (he was a dilettante who was always revising his verses to no great effect) he made up for in loyal friendship. He held high office in the finance ministry. He is the poet of eight Schubert songs, most of which are successes. Liebeslauschen is the longest setting, but in some ways the least demanding (with the possible exception of Fischerweise).

Smart stats
Not since the winter of 1983, when Clive Lloyd's West Indies avenged their loss in the World Cup final, had India been whitewashed in an ODI series at home. Following their third poor batting performance against Pakistan, India were hurtling towards a 0-3 score line in the cold of Delhi, until their bowlers rallied in conditions that offered seam and spin, applying relentless pressure until Misbah-ul-Haq's team cracked in the dead rubber.
As Yuvraj Singh, pursued by team-mates, went off on a celebratory run and slide after catching Mohammad Hafeez in the penultimate over to secure a hard-fought victory, the exuberant celebrations on the field and in the stands at the Kotla were a release of emotion from a country that has had precious little to celebrate in cricket in recent times.
An Indian victory, however, had appeared unlikely after their batsmen had crumbled against Pakistan's versatile attack. A raw seam attack, spearheaded by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and the debutant Shami Ahmed, had only 167 to defend and they went about it manfully. Ahmed began his spell with two maiden overs and continued to bowl with economy. Bhuvneshwar nipped out two early wickets with inswingers and bowled his ten overs on the trot, leaving Pakistan 55 for 2 after 19 overs.
During that period, India's fielding was at its best, with Ajinkya Rahane and Ravindra Jadeja throwing their bodies around on a chilly evening to cut off fluent flicks and drives. The only easy runs Pakistan got were two leg-side wides from the offspinner R Ashwin that beat MS Dhoni and sped to the boundary.
Pakistan rebuilt through Misbah, who batted doggedly for 39 off 82 balls, first with Nasir Jamshed and then with Umar Akmal. Both those stands were ended by Ashwin, and at 113 for 4 in difficult batting conditions, India were gaining ground. They received a lucky break, when Shoaib Malik was adjudged lbw to Ishant Sharma though he was hit outside the line, and Akmal charged Ravindra Jadeja too early and was stumped.
Only Hafeez, batting at No. 7 because of an injury while bowling, stood between India and victory and he was dropped by Rahane in the 42nd over, a straightforward chance at leg slip. He dragged his team towards the target and had to refuse singles with the No. 11 Mohammad Irfan, after Pakistan had lost three wickets in eight balls. With 23 runs needed in the last two overs, Hafeez hit two boundaries before holing out to off Ishant.
Any immediate anguish Pakistan felt, however, quickly dissipated as their players, heavily jacketed in the misty evening, celebrated a 2-1 series victory.
That India had at least 167 to defend was largely down to Dhoni, who was Man of the Match for his captaincy and his 36 off 55 balls, and Jadeja. Having left out Virender Sehwag to give Rahane a run, India lost three early wickets to the pace and swing of Mohammad Irfan and Junaid Khan. And they continued to struggle against Saeed Ajmal, who dismissed Suresh Raina and Ashwin off successive deliveries on his way to a five-wicket haul. India were 111 for 6 in the 29th over. Dhoni immediately carted Hafeez for his third six over deep midwicket and in a later over he inflicted the blow - a flat smash - that forced the Pakistan opener down the order.
Dhoni fell in the 35th over and Jadeja, because he was running out of partners, began to attack and score what he could. He hit a towering straight six off Umar Gul, and another off Ajmal over cow corner, but his riposte ended on 27. India were dismissed in the 44th over, but the wasted resources did not cost them the game.

This turkey burger is seriously delicious. It turned out better than I ever expected. It is moist, packed with flavor, and comes in at under 200 calories.

(http://www.paniit:iitd.ac.in/indest) 3. CSIR E journal consortium (http://www.miscair.res.in) 4. Forum for Resource Sharing in Astronomy and Astrophysics (FORSA) (http://www.iiap.res.in/library/Forsa,html) 5. Health Sciences Library and Information Networks (HELINET) (http://www.rguhs.ac.in/hn/ne ,html) 6. Inter University Centres (IUC-DAEF Consortia ) (http://brahma.iuc.res.in/- iuc- cc/iuc- /oc,html) Among the library consortiums the most important one is UGC/Infonet. It is a joint venture of UGC and INFLIBNET to promote electronic resource sharing among academic and research libraries of India. UGC launched this program in the year 2003 covering 57 universities in the first phase. Now it has completed three phases and is linked to 277 universities and it also provides Associate membership to private universities and other research institutions. UGC acts as the funding agency of the program and provides the member universities all infrastructural facilities to access the program. INFLIBNET centre is the nodal agency for the implementation and monitoring of the entire program. This consortium provides current as well as archival access to more than 7000 journals, 10 bibliographic databases, 4 open access resources from 23 publishers and aggregators. As already pointed out the main objective of the program is to interlink the universities, colleges and research institutions of the country electronically for achieving maximum academic and research output by facilitating free access to scholarly e journals and databases in almost all fields of research. It also helps to increase the teaching and learning efficiency by distributing knowledge in electronic format. E journal service is the key stone of the program. It facilitates free access to e journals and databases which provides bibliographic information, abstracts and full text of the article. Journals whether in print or in electronic format is the most important resource of a university library as it carries the primary source of information relevant to the needs of the scholars. In this electronic age, e journals have an advantage over printed journals. The multiple search capabilities, easier access, quick publications, multimedia presentations, hyperlinks etc are some of the features of electronic resources which attracts the information seekers. Therefore accessibility to electronic resources has become an integral part of any university library. Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit, Kalady : a profile Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit (here after SSUS) was established in 1993 to impart knowledge in various branches of Sanskrit, as well as Indology, Indian and Foreign Languages, Philosophy, Literature, Fine Arts and Social Sciences. Along with other 14 International Journal of Library and Information Science (IJLIS), ISSN: 2277 – 3533 (Print) ISSN: 2277 – 3584 (Online) Volume 2, Issue 2, July - December 2013, © IAEME degrees and master degree courses the university offers integrated M.Phil./Ph.D. programs in different subjects. At present the university has 539 full time research scholars. Research Scholars of SSUS can be classified as a unique group, as all of them doing research work in traditional subjects such as Languages, Literature, History, Philosophy and Fine Arts. Thus contributing a great deal to the cultural development of the nation. In 2009 Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit, Kalady was connected to this consortium during the 3 rd phase of the program. In this phase a computer centre was established in the university library with the installation of 1 Gbps leased connectivity under UGC NME-ICT project. 40 computer terminals were made available to the users free of cost. After the installation of the UGC/Infonet consortium no study had been conducted in SSUS to determine how the e journals of UGC/infonet consortium had been utilized in SSUS. It was in this context that this study was carried out to determine the level of awareness and utility of UGC/infonet consortium among the research scholars of SSUS. REVIEW OF LITERATURE In the recent years a number of studies had been carried out on the use of e journal consortiums in the universities and other academic institutions. The most relevant studies on the topic are as follows: In 2013, Nav Jyoti Dhingra conducted a study on the usage of e- resource consortium in Agriculture. It indicated that easy way of access and easy search methods were the important features of e resources which attracted the majority of the users. Lack of training was the main cause for less Utilization of e journals. Majority of the population revealed that by providing better training , the utilization of e- resources can increase. P Gomathy conducted a study on the use of UGC/Infonet E journal consortium by the faculty members and research scholars of Periyar university in 2013 and majority of the respondents revealed that e journals were better than its printed version and more than 75% of the respondents were making use of the service. Use of UGC/Infonet consortia by the research scholars at University of Delhi: a survey conducted by Naved Ahmad, Imtiaz Basha and Nishal Fatima in 2012, identified that majority of the research scholars (93.68%) were aware of the UGC/Infonet consortia and majority of them got information about the consortium through university library. The analysis also showed that Taylor and Francis was the most accessed resource. Awareness and usage of UGC/Infonet dogital library consortium among faculty members of state universities in Tamil Nadu : a survey conducted by Thanuskody in 2012 revealed that more than 90% of the faculty members know about the consortium and more than 75% of them accessed this resources for research purpose. The major problem faced by them was the non availability of the facility at the department chamber. A study conducted by Bhasker Mukherjee and Prashant Kumar in 2010 indicated that more than 60% of the respondents were satisfied with the existing model of UGC/Infonet consortium. But it needs further enhancement in terms of coverage in the area of interest of the users. There are many journals yet to be included in the database. 15 International Journal of Library and Information Science (IJLIS), ISSN: 2277 – 3533 (Print) ISSN: 2277 – 3584 (Online) Volume 2, Issue 2, July - December 2013, © IAEME Another study conducted by R H Walmiki, K C Ramakrishna Gowda and K R Prithviraj on the topic in 2010, two-third of the faculty members of Karnataka state universities revealed that, user education program conducted was only lecture oriented, no practical training had been given and it was a reason for non use. About half of the respondents said that non accessibility of e journals at the faculty work place was a reason for non use. Springer Link was the highest utilized resource. In 2009, B D Kumbar and Gururaj S Hadagali conducted a study in Karnataka university. In that study majority of the research scholars and faculty members indicated the necessity of including more number of e journals in the consortium. Again many of the respondents felt the necessity for regular training/ awareness program. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The research was undertaken with the following objectives: 1. To find out the purpose for which the research scholars use the UGC/Infonet e journal consortium. 2. To find out the frequency of use of UGC/Infonet e journal consortium. 3. To find out the adequacy of library orientation program. 4. To find out the preference of medium and resource. 5. To find out the reasons for use or non- use of UGC/Infonet e journal consortium. 6. To find out the difficulties related to the utilization of e-journals. 7. To find out suggestions for promoting UGC/Infonet e journal service. SCOPE AND LIMITATION The present study is based on the belief that UGC/Infonet e journal consortium will be a boon to the research scholars and they will constitute the main user group of the consortium in SSUS. The part time research scholars are not included in the study because the investigator finds that it will be a tedious and time consuming task to collect responses from them. METHODOLOGY A total of 539 full time research scholars were enrolled at SSUS in various subjects like Sanskrit, Malayalam, English, Hindi, History, Social sciences, Manuscriptology, Comparative Literature and others. In this survey one half of the total population from each department was selected as samples. For soliciting information from the targeted group a stratified sample of 275 was selected. A pre structured questionnaire was distributed among them. The research scholars were allowed to mark multiple choices relevant to them. The data collected by this method was analyzed and inferences were made by making use of standard statistical techniques. ANALYSIS OF DATA It was decided to include one half of the population as sample and 275 questionnaires were distributed. Among the distributed questionnaires 270 were returned. Out of them 118 respondents were found not to have used this service. Then the final response rate was 56.3%. 16 International Journal of Library and Information Science (IJLIS), ISSN: 2277 – 3533 (Print) ISSN: 2277 – 3584 (Online) Volume 2, Issue 2, July - December 2013, © IAEME Table 1: Subject wise Distribution of the Respondents Subjects Population Samples Hindi 53 26 English 45 22 History 54 28 Social sc. 47 22 Malayalam 67 34 Sanskrit 171 86 Manuscriptology 19 10 Comparative lit. 27 14 Others 56 28 Total 539 270 Subject wise Distribution : Table 1 shows the subject wise distribution of respondents. It is seen from the table that the highest number of research scholars is in Sanskrit followed by Malayalam. Some of the departments like Physical education, Music, Vastuvidya, Ayurveda, Theatre, Translation studies etc. have very small number of research scholars. So these departments were categorized as one and included under Others, that is Music (13), Dance (8) Theatre (8), Urdu (7), Vastuvidya (6), Physical education (2) Ayurveda (3), Translation Studies (9). Figure 1: Computer Experience Previous Knowledge yes no 10% 90% Previous Knowledge in Computer/Internet : The figure 1 shows that the majority (90%) of the research scholars of SSUS are computer literate.

To get better output from the resources or services provided in a library maximum percentage of users have to use it. Table 2 showed that more than 40% of the total population was never used the service. Among the different departments, 100% of the research scholars of Comparative literature are utilized the service but in Sanskrit it was only 17%. Table 3: Reasons for Non use Cumulative Reasons No. of Respondents Percentage Percentage Not aware 44 37.29% 37.29% Lack of 42 35.59% 72.88% Training Lack of Time 8 6.78% 79.66% Journals not 24 20.34% 100% available Reasons for Non Use: Out of the 270 respondents, 118 were never used the UGC/Infonet e journal service. One of the most important objective of the study was to identify the reasons for the non use of the UGC/Infonet e journal consortium. Table 3 showed majority of the respondents (37%) were unaware about the service. Another main reason for keeping them away from the service was the non availability of journals of their interest. More than 20% of the non users selected that option. 36% of the respondents said due to lack of training they do not know how to make use of the service. Figure 2: Library Orientation Program Participation in Library Orientation Program 10% yes no 90% Participation in Library Orientation Program : Libraries organize orientation programs at certain intervals to create awareness among the users about library services, collection, building, staff etc. A well planned orientation program is a pre requisite for the efficient usage of library services. Figure 2 showed participation in orientation programs organized 18 International Journal of Library and Information Science (IJLIS), ISSN: 2277 – 3533 (Print) ISSN: 2277 – 3584 (Online) Volume 2, Issue 2, July - December 2013, © IAEME in the library. It was shocking that only 16 respondents (10%) took part in the orientation program. Again majority of the respondents among the participatory group indicated that only a very limited information had been given in the orientation program about the UGC/Infonet e journal service Table 4: Source of Information No. of Cumulative Source of Information Percentage Respondents Percentage Library Advertisement 6 3.95% 3.95% Friends 85 55.92% 59.87% Teachers/Guide 44 28.95% 88.82% Library Staff 17 11.18% 100% Source of Information about the UGC/Infonet E journal service: Libraries always promote their services through different channels such as library websites, orientation programs, library bulletins etc. Library staff themselves could act as a source of information. A majority (56%) among the respondents who were aware about the service said that they have got the information about the UGC/Infonet service from their friends. And 30% of the respondents indicated that their source of information were their teachers. Table 5: Frequency of Use No. of Cumulative Usage Percentage Respondents Percentage Daily 24 15.79% 15.79% Once in a week 51 33.55% 49.34% Twice in a week 27 17.77% 67.11% Occasionally 50 32.89% 100% Frequency of Use : The efficiency of a library service is measured not only in terms of the number of users but also in terms of the frequency of use and the benefit they acquired. Table 5 explains the frequency of use of e journal service among research scholars. It showed that one third of the research scholars (32%) used the service occasionally and again another one third (33%) used it once in a week and the number of daily users were about 16%. Table 6: Purpose of utilizing e journals No of Cumulative Purpose Percentage Respondents Percentage Writing articles 9 5.92% 5.92% Research work 74 48.68% 54.6% 19 International Journal of Library and Information Science (IJLIS), ISSN: 2277 – 3533 (Print) ISSN: 2277 – 3584 (Online) Volume 2, Issue 2, July - December 2013, © IAEME Up-to-date knowledge 21 13.82% 68.42% Seminar/Project 34 22.37% 90.79% Background knowledge 14 9.21% 100% Purpose of reading e journals : Research scholars need information in different forms and formats for different purposes. It is obvious from table 6 that about half of the total respondent's utilized this service mainly for their research work. Again more than 20% of the respondents used it for preparing for seminars and projects.

The university mainly cater to social sciences, languages and other related disciplines. A question is included for determining how the e journals of UGC/Infonet consortium deliver to these subjects. Among the total respondents, 111(73%) were satisfied with the service. Based on the subject specific analysis majority of research scholars of Sanskrit 10 (58.82%) were not satisfied with the e journal service while research scholars of English only 5 (10%) were dissatisfied with the service. A majority of all subjects except Sanskrit are satisfied with the existing UGC/Infonet e journal service.

Figure 3 indicated that easy search was the main feature which attracted more than 30% of the respondents. The feature of Down loading facility attracted 27% of the respondents. The features of hyper link (8%), whole time availability (15%), easy access (13%), screen reading (6%) also were very relevant qualities of e resources which attracted users. Figure 4: Publishing Media Publishing Media print electronic both 31% 66% 3% Preferred publishing media : In this electronic age, information resources are available in print and electronic form. Figure 4 showed that more than 60% of the respondents still consult print journals along with e journals. And more than 30% of the respondents prefer printed journals. Figure 5 : Preferred Output Device Output device used Printer CD/ROM Pen Drive Writing down from the screen 0% 31% 66% 3% Preferred Output Device : Figure 5 shows that more than 60% of the respondents prefer pen drive to store their resources. Again more than 30% of the respondents prefer Printer as their output device. Only a negligible number of users prefer CD/ROM as their secondary storage. Figure 6: Search Methods 21 International Journal of Library and Information Science (IJLIS), ISSN: 2277 – 3533 (Print) ISSN: 2277 – 3584 (Online) Volume 2, Issue 2, July - December 2013, © IAEME Search strategy Publisher wise searching Journal wise searching Keyword searching Content page searching 4% 24% 20% 52% Search Method : In the UGC/Infonet e journals different kinds of search methods are possible. Figure 6 shows that more than half of the respondents were in favor of key word searching. The next preferred search method followed is (24%) content page searching. 20% of the respondents prefer journal wise searching. Table 8 : Preferred E Journal Resource : No. of Cumulative E Journal Resource Percentage Respondents Percentage ISID 10 6.58% 6.58% JCCC 32 21.05% 27.63% J STORE 74 48.69% 76.32% SPRINKER LINK 10 6.58% 82.9% CUP 9 5.92% 88.82% OUP 9 5.92% 94.74% TAYLOR & FRANCIS 8 5.26% 100% Preferred UGC/Infonet E Journal Resource: As the whole group of respondents belongs to Literature and Social Science disciplines it was interesting to note their preference of resource. Table 8 clearly showed that among the total respondents 74 (24%) preferred J STORE. Then 21.05% of respondents preferred JCCC.

To analyze the difficulties the respondents were asked to indicate the relevance of the suggestions given. Table 9 depicted that for 34 ( 22%) respondents non availability of the full text journals was the most relevant problem. Next to that, lack of training was the difficulty faced by 32 ( 21%) of respondents which put them off from e journals. Another barrier faced by 28 (19%) respondents was lack of trained staff in the computer room. 23 (15%) respondents indicated that non availability of journals of their interest was the main reason for keeping them away from the service. For 11 (12%) respondents slow response of networks was the main reason for less utilization. For a smaller percentage of respondents lack of computer terminals was a barrier. Table 10: suggestions No. of Cumulative Suggestions Percentage Respondents Percentage More Training 33 21.71% 21.71% Higher Speed of Internet 24 15.79% 37.5% Co operation of Staff 20 13.16% 50.66% Inclusion of additional 40 26.32% 76.98% e Journals More full text e journals 18 11.84% 88.82% Betterment of 17 11.18% 100% infrastructures Suggestions to promote utilization of UGC/Infonet E journal service : The study revealed that all the suggestions given by the investigator to increase the accessibility to the UGC/Infonet were relevant. Table 10 showed that more than 25% of the respondents indicated that by including more e journals in the resource it is possible to increase the utilization of e journal service. 22% of the respondents said that by providing more training programs it can improve the usage .13% of the respondents said that by the co-operation of the staff it is possible to promote the usage. 11% of the respondents said that by improving the infrastructural facilities it was possible to promote the accessibility. FINDINGS More than 40% of the research scholars were not making use of UGC/Infonet e journal service, though about 100% of the users were computer literate. Among the research scholars in Sanskrit more than 80% were keeping away from the service. At the same time in comparative Literature 100% of the research scholars were utilizing this service. In total 56.3 % of research scholars were utilizing the service. 23 International Journal of Library and Information Science (IJLIS), ISSN: 2277 – 3533 (Print) ISSN: 2277 – 3584 (Online) Volume 2, Issue 2, July - December 2013, © IAEME Lack of awareness about UGC/Infonet e journal service and lack of training (37% and 36% respectively) were the main reasons for the under utilization of the service. 20% of the respondents indicated that non availability of journals of their interest in full text was also a factor for less utilization. The existing library orientation program of the library was not adequate and only a very small percentage (10%) of the respondents participated in this program. It is find that for 60% of the research scholars the source of information about the service was their friends.. And about 30% of them have got information from their teachers. And only 6% of them were informed by library sources, which indicated the inadequacy of the efforts on the part of the library in promoting their services. One third of the research scholars were utilized this service once in a week. And another one third were occasional users. Daily users were only about 16%. About one half of the research scholars were utilized the service for their research work. Only 5% of them utilized this service for writing articles. In the subject wise analysis of the level of satisfaction on the availability of journals it was found that the highest satisfied categories were English (89.47%), Other subjects (84.21%), History (80.77%), Malayalam (78.28%). Again the least satisfied research scholars were of Sanskrit (41.18%) Easy search, down loading facility, whole time availability, easy access, hyper link, screen reading were the relevant features of e journals in decreasing order of preference attracted the users. It was found that more than 60% of the users were interested to read print journals along with e journals. This strongly indicated that even today printed journals have not lost its importance and printed journals can coexist with e journals in future. The study indicated that most preferred output device was pen drive for 66% of the users. Next to that 31% of them preferred printer as their output device. It revealed that CD Rom and writing down from the screen will become obsolete soon. About half of the users preferred key word searching and next to that about 20% of the users interested in content page searching. Among the total respondents 50% were chose J STORE as their preferred e journal resource. Next to that, more than 20% preferred JCCC. The important difficulty faced by the users while utilizing the e journals were non availability of full text articles (22%), lack of training (21%), lack of trained staff (18%), non availability of journals (15%), slow response of internet (12%) , difficulty in searching (8%), lack of terminals (3%). SUGGESTIONS Based on the findings of the study, the following suggestions are given : Library services and facilities may be communicated out through library website, university website, library news letter etc. will help to increase its utilization. Library orientation program for the beginners and also when introducing new services is an important pre requisite for the promotion of the entire library services. Publishing of available e journal titles in websites or newsletters will help to promote its utilization. 24 International Journal of Library and Information Science (IJLIS), ISSN: 2277 – 3533 (Print) ISSN: 2277 – 3584 (Online) Volume 2, Issue 2, July - December 2013, © IAEME Periodical training programs may be arranged to enhance the usage of different types of services provided by the library. Inclusion of more e journals in full text especially for the subjects of Sanskrit, Hindi etc. will help to increase the usage. Periodical assessment of the utilization by checking the statistics available with the publishers is very important. Which will help to cancel the less used journals from the list and can include more useful journals. CONCLUSION: Though cooperation and resource sharing has emerged as an essential facet of modern university libraries, SSUS library is still in the normative stage of these programs. It is obvious that UGC/Infonet program has positive impact among the research scholars of SSUS. Electronic journals do assist the users in acquiring back ground information and also current information. By overcoming some of the barriers and providing timely awareness programs and training it is possible to maximize the utilization of the service. REFERENCES 1.
