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.

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 – 5.20 shows that district wise respondents’ opinion on level of
importance of e-resources in engineering colleges affiliated to North
Maharashtra University. Out of 737 total respondents the highest 375
(50.88%), 343 (46.54%) and 370 (50.20%) of them stated that online database,
e-journal and e-Books are important e-resources respectively. Whereas 364
(49.39%), 584 (78.97%) and 611 (82.90%) of the respondents says that online
catalogue, Internet/website and E-mail are most important e-resources
respectively.

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.

It is inferred from the above table that there is a significant difference
among District wise respondents’ constraints faced while accessing e-resources
in engineering colleges affiliated to North Maharashtra University. Since the
calculated F-value is significant . P<0.05 . Therefore the alternate hypothesis
is accepted and null hypothesis is rejected.

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
‘dissatisfied’ with the e-resources.
244
Regarding the district wise of the respondents, the highest 72.59 per cent
of the respondents belongs to Nandurbar District ‘very satisfied’ and the highest
29.25 per cent of respondents belongs to Jalgaon district ‘satisfied’, whereas
11.56 per cent and 3.56 per cent of the respondents from the Dhule district to
the same district were ‘somewhat satisfied’ and ‘dissatisfied’ with the
e-resources respectively.
It could be seen from the above discussion that majority of the
respondents ‘very satisfied’ and 22-30 per cent of the respondents were
satisfied with the e-resources available in their college library.
It is inferred from the above table that there is an association among
district wise respondents’ opinion on level of satisfaction with e-resources in
engineering colleges affiliated to North Maharashtra University. Since the
P-value is significant. Therefore it is concluded that the null hypothesis is
