| Popis: | It is true that the academic institutions dealing with management-related programmes produce good employees who will be a backbone of economic growth in any country. The success of any organisation is based on the employee's skills and knowledge. Utilisation of right information from right source is also a skill that makes any professional competent to work in any environment. The digital resources including information products are influencing all walks of life. This paper was an attempt to assess the digital literacy skills of post-graduate students from management institutions in Puducherry. A total of 119 respondents from four institutions were studied based on questionnaires. The result revealed that 72.6% of the respondents were aware of digital sources and 24% of students used digital sources always for academic and entertainment purposes. Online sharing tools like Email, Facebook, Google+, Youtube and Skype were very familiar among the respondents. Elsevier, Blackwell, Springer, INFORMS, CMIE were found to be familiar among the PG students of the institutions under study. |
