Abstract

Academic Social Networking Sites have become an important part of academicians’ lives. This study investigates the use and awareness of ASNS among DLIS students and researchers at BBAU, Lucknow. The primary goal is to determine the usage, awareness, impact, and challenges relating to ASNS that students encounter during their academic work. An online survey questionnaire was distributed to DLIS students and researchers, achieving a response rate of 76.69%. The findings represent that a significant number of students regularly use ASNS, and are aware of its benefits. ASNS makes research work easier and quicker, but challenges such as information overload, internet-related issues, lack of expertise, and feelings of inferiority complex persist among students engaging with these platforms.
