“…Other barriers stated by very few students were Internet data packets exhausting, internet networks disturbing, and annoying advertisements on the internet. This finding is different with Kumar (2014) who revealed that the most problem encountered by physics education students at Kurukshetra University was too much information on the internet (61.4%). About the internet speed barrier, only 56.8% of students experienced it.…”

“…The instrument employed in this research consisted of a questionnaire and two scales. The questionnaire was partially adopted from Loan (2011), Gökalp (2013), and Kumar (2014). It was used to collect data of students' demographic profiles, computer and internet facilities, experience and frequency of accessing internet, purpose of using the internet in general and in physics learning, and barriers in accessing the internet.…”

This paper aims to analyze the differences between internet facilities, internet usage purposes, internet selfefficacy (ISE), and internet perceptions in learning physics, regarding students' gender and grade. A total of 798 senior high school students were surveyed randomly from 10 schools in the urban area of Lampung Province, Indonesia. The data were analyzed with Chi-square tests, t-test and ANOVA test for parametric, and Mann-Withney test and Kruskal-Wallis test for nonparametric. The results showed that by gender, female students were better at the ownership of computers and internet access via mobile phones. For the purpose of accessing internet, they were also identified more frequently in using internet for academic purposes, social media, and doing physics homework. Additionally, females were better at the perception about the benefit of the internet in learning physics. Besides, males were higher in using internet for entertainment and accessing physics' video and animation. For experience and frequency in accessing internet and ISE, there were no significant gender differences found. Meanwhile, the differences were found between grades in some general usage as well as in ISE. Overall, the higher the students' grade, the greater the percentage of students who use them, except in internet perception.

“…User behavior in academic libraries has changed significantly over the past decade, and most libraries now follow Web enabled OPAC rather than a traditional catalogue. Kumar (2017) in his study tries to determine the awareness and usage of OPAC among English, Mathematics and Commerce students of Kurukshetra University, Haryana. The study reveals that students' knowledge of OPAC is weak, and most students use the OPAC to search for documents from the shelves using the Title search (33.90%) with the assistance of library staff.…”

The main purpose of OPAC is to deliver users with a user-friendly interface for searching and retrieving library resources. OPACs enable users to conduct searches based on various parameters such as author, title, subject, keyword, and other criteria, making it easy for them to find the materials they need. OPACs also provide users with information on the availability and location of the resources they are searching for, enabling them to request or reserve items if necessary. OPACs are also used to gather statistics and data on library usage and resource utilization. Librarians can use OPAC data to analyze the frequency of resource use and identify trends in user behavior. This information can be used to optimize resource allocation, identify gaps in the collection, and improve library services. To analyze the application and satisfaction level of users in OPAC services, the present user study has been conducted in LNB Library, Dibrugarh University to gather feedback from users on their experience with the OPAC. A structured questionnaire was prepared and distributed among the users (Faculty/Research Scholars/UG/PG Students) of Dibrugarh University. A total nos. of 84 filled in questionnaire has been received which is 56 % of the total population of the study. The study reveals that library orientation/Information literacy programs are helpful for enhancing credibility amongst the users (55.99%) in OPAC search. KEY WORDS: User Studies, OPAC, Pathfinder tool, LNB Library, Dibrugarh University.

The term "cloud computing" refers to a variety of tools and applications used byorganizations to manage their work processes online. Apart from providing theexpected benefits, the gadgets and applications of the cloud are helpful for education.The purpose of this study is not to examine the outcomes of cloud computing inuniversities, but to examine how students use cloud applications. A survey researchdesign was used to examine how students of Kurukshetra University use cloudcomputing applications. 200 students from the streams of science, management, socialscience, and arts were randomly selected to answer a structured questionnaire. Aresponse rate of 95% was achieved by 48 students in Science, 50 in Management, 48in Social Science, and 44 in Arts who completed and returned the questionnaire on time.The analyzed data is presented in a table that includes the Likert scale mean, standarddeviation, and the cross-table Chi-square test. In the study, most students highlypreferred G Suite Cloud (57%) and Microsoft (40%) learning applications. It can beseen from the study that WhatsApp (98%), Facebook (96%), and YouTube (97%) arethe most preferred cloud-based social media among the students, most studentspreferred Google Meet (95%) and Zoom (91%) meeting application, and most studentspreferred Google Drive (68%) and pCloud (67%) for data storage.
