Abstract :
As Information and Communications
Technology (ICT) has already become an integral
aspect of an academic library, e-resources have also
aided for wider and easier access of technical
information. Relatively, the study aimed to assess the
utilization and perception of college students, faculty,
and staff in Camarines Norte State College – College of
Trades and Technology (CNSC-COTT), a higher
education institution in the province of Camarines
Norte, Philippines in the use of e-resources which will
be a basis for inputs towards its digitalization. A
quantitative research design was used to which a survey
was deployed via google forms. The consolidated data
shows that 82% of the respondents were already aware
of the e-resources provided by the library. However,
considerations may still be taken into accounts to
improve statistical results such as strengthening
information dissemination, improvement of the internet
subscription and likewise, improve the skills of the
clienteles when it comes to using the facilities. Likewise,
it was also noted that among the respondents, faculty
members were the most satisfied with a mean score of
4.56 whereas students and staff were at a satisfactory
level. In determining the satisfaction level of the
respondents, demographics of the respondents were
taken into consideration and determined its influence.
Relatively, it was noted that role of the respondent (be it
student, faculty, or staff) and the year level of the
respondents has great influence in the determination of
satisfaction level over the sex of the respondents.
Statistics show that p value for both variables was at -
0.158 and -0.088 that was greater than (α = 0.05)
validating the influence of the said variables.
