The findings show that most of the research population use printed journals, but the frequency of electronic journals? Usage is more. Most students evaluate the importance of journals (electronic and printed) as high. Even most of them prefer the electronic format; they evaluate their skill in the use of e-journals as medium and believe they need further instructions for the use of e-journals. Most of them explain that the main reason of their low usage of e-journals is insufficient instruction, and the low speed of retrieval is the main obstacle.
