Author(s):
Abstract:
Purpose
This research studies the extent to which graduate students at Shiraz University use the mentioned databases and the problems that they have in this regard. Methodology/Approach: The research population consists of higher education students of Shiraz University among which a sample of 360 students were selected through random sampling. The data collection tool was a questionnaire. Its validity and reliability (α=0. 902) have been verified. Findings
The higher education students of Shiraz University frequently use online full text databases. Students mostly use ScienceDirect and Elsevier databases. Students mostly use online databases for doing their thesis and coursework and for writing and translating books and papers. Conclusions
Since the most important reason for not using the mentioned databases by students is that they are not familiar with them، ongoing educational programs must be planned for this matter. On the other hand، information and communication infrastructures must be developed for providing services related to the databases outside the university.Keywords:
