Awareness and use of One Nation one Subscription (ONOS) Among ug Students Government First Grade College, Kushalnagar

The One Nation One Subscription (ONOS) initiative represents a crucial endeavor by the Government of India aimed at ensuring uniform and equitable access to scholarly electronic resources for institutions of higher education. This study concentrates on the awareness and utilization of ONOS among undergraduate students at Government First Grade College, Kushalnagar. The primary objectives of this research are to assess the level of awareness regarding ONOS, evaluate the extent of its usage, identify the purposes for which it is used, and comprehend the challenges encountered by students when accessing ONOS resources. A descriptive survey method was employed for the study, with data gathered through a structured questionnaire. A total of 120 questionnaires were distributed, and 110 (91.67%) were completed and returned, providing the foundation for analysis. The data collected were analyzed using basic statistical methods, including percentage analysis and tabulation. The results reveal that while a significant number of undergraduate students are aware of the ONOS initiative, the frequency of regular usage remains relatively moderate. Key challenges identified include a lack of sufficient awareness programs, limited user support, and inadequate digital skills. The study highlights the necessity for library orientation programs, user education, and promotional initiatives to improve the effective use of ONOS resources among undergraduate students. The findings of this study are anticipated to aid librarians and academic administrators in enhancing access and maximizing the advantages of the ONOS initiative.
