Awareness and Use of E-Resources among Students of Government Colleges of Teacher Education in Kerala During Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

In the sphere of education, the novel coronavirus (covid-19) disease has offered unique obstacles. Many academic libraries were forced to close their doors. This quick and unanticipated transformation has compelled library personnel to migrate their services to the digital platform whenever possible, as well as provide acceptable remote service to consumers. Given the difficulties in providing services in a public health emergency, Kerala's Government Teacher Educational Institutions will have to demonstrate how technology may be used for rescue operations during the covid Pandemic on a practical level. The goal of this work is to show how much information libraries can supply to faculty, researchers, and students, as well as the level of open-source information awareness. The present study highlights the significant initiatives taken by the libraries which can be followed by others to meet the post lockdown needs.
