“…Use of online databases within academic research is a relatively new opportunity but evidence suggests that their use has become well embedded within the academy. Academics and researchers are using databases within their research and find databases useful sources (Khan et al, 2009), and they are used by practitioners (Molino, 1986) and for similar research purposes (Houn et al, 1995). Houn et al's study involved using six newspaper databases to retrieve articles reporting the association between alcohol and breast cancer.…”

The representation of female athletes by the British print media has been an area for close scrutiny since the mid-1990s. This article examines the representation of England's Women's performance at the 2009 Cricket World Cup. Using a qualitative content analysis of 29 articles from seven newspapers over the duration of the tournament, results show that the main themes emerging were: description of play, performance, celebration, media coverage and women's sport. These results are discussed in the context of changing trends since the 1990s. Concurring with previous authors we acknowledge that trends have changed in terms of what is reported but not in terms of how much is reported.

“…Online databases are extremely useful for searching huge volumes of information within a minimum amount of time [23]. The majority of universities and institutions provide online databases to their scholars to aid academic and research work [8,24]. Online databases in libraries first came as single-user CD-ROM workstations in the 1980s, but became routine with the extreme expansion of Internet technology during 1990s to 2000s.…”

“…Therefore, exploring university students’ usage and their satisfaction with these databases can benefit libraries. As user satisfaction is the ultimate goal of libraries, accordingly many researchers [8,23,35–37] have conducted studies about databases usage. This study is also an effort in this regard.…”

“…Similarly, advancements in information and communication technologies (ICTs) have altered the way information is generated, stored and accessed, while the Internet and web-based technologies have facilitated the publication and dissemination of information in digital formats [5–7]. These technological advancements have resulted in the growth of an entire new array of information services [8]. Both academic and public libraries have responded to these trends by strengthening their existing services and expanding their collections of online resources [9].…”

In today’s technology-enriched environment, online research databases have become an indispensable tool in learning and research activities. Libraries worldwide have incorporated them as an integral part of their current service delivery. This study intends to determine whether the technology satisfaction model (TSM) validly measures postgraduate students’ satisfaction of using online research databases in an academic library. It further explores the relationships among antecedents within the model. To measure the components of the TSM, the stratified random sampling strategy was used to conduct a survey with 300 postgraduate students from six faculties of COMSATS University Islamabad (CUI) in Pakistan. The data were statistically analysed using the Rasch model and structural equation modelling (SEM). The results of the study illustrate direct and indirect associations among the exogenous, endogenous and mediating variables of the TSM, with the studied postgraduate students’ computer self-efficacy playing a crucial role in influencing their satisfaction. The TSM shows that 69% of the variance in the postgraduate students’ satisfaction can be explained by perceived usefulness, computer self-efficacy and perceived ease of use, which confirm that the TSM has a strong predictive power and is viable for measuring endogenous variable. The findings also make a significant contribution to the testing of databases for academics, service providers and researchers in higher education.

<p>The survey is an attempt to determine and find the present status of awareness, accessibility and use of electronic resources among library and information science research scholars of Jiwaji University Gwalior, like; CD-ROM databases, online databases, online journals, OPAC etc. The study was done to find out the challenges, benefits, and progress gained by research scholars while accessing the e-resources. It is found out through study that ‘Shodhganga’ was mostly used (95 per cent) by research scholars, followed by DOAJ. It was also found out that research scholars got information about available e-resources and databases in their institute through the library website (45.5 per cent), followed by searching on Internet. A detailed result of this survey was discussed and recommendations were made to improve and enhance the usage of e-resources. </p>
