Abstract

The present study is aimed at assessment of e-resources dependency by Iranian social science faculty members. A total of 232 faculty members from various universities from Iran were randomly selected. A questionnaire measuring dependency on various e-resources: e-books, e-journals, e-tutorials, online databases, CD-ROM databases and e-reports was prepared by the investigator and administered to the sample selected. Statistical methods like descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were employed to verify the hypotheses. Results revealed that Iranian faculty members were more dependent on all the e-resources selected for the study. It was also observed that Iranian faculty members were more dependent on e-journals, followed by e-books, and Online data bases and least on e-reports. The reasons for dependency on various e-resources have been discussed.
