Abstract

This article documents the impact of electronic resources utilization on research productivity in Tanzania universities. To examine the impact of e-resources on research productivity, a structured questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were simultaneously used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. The study reveals that increased access to electronic research materials has an insignificant impact on research productivity. The low publications rate among the faculty members who participated in the present study is one of the indicators of ineffective utilization of the resources in research productivity. This has an adverse effect on the visibility of the universities as far as the research output is concerned.

摘要

本文记录了电子资源利用对坦桑尼亚大学研究生产力的影响。为了检查电子资源对研究生产力的影响，同时使用结构化问卷和半结构化访谈来收集定量和定性数据。该研究表明，增加对电子研究材料的访问对研究生产力的影响微不足道。参与本研究的教职员工的低发表率是研究生产力资源利用效率低下的指标之一。就研究成果而言，这对大学的知名度有不利影响。
