Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal). 4512. https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/libphilprac/4512 Introduction There was a dearth of scholarly e-resources available for the academics and researchers in the Sri Lankan State universities and to address this issue, in 2014, University Grants Commission (UGC) implemented the Consortium of Sri Lankan Academic Libraries (CONSAL), which provided five databases for the 15 public universities under its purview (Wijetunge 2019). After the completion of phase one from 2014-2016, a cross-university survey was conducted with the financial support of the International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications (INASP), UK to identify the usage trends and attitudes of academics towards the e-resources provided through CONSAL as well as the other e-resources available for them. This paper discusses the findings related to University of Jaffna (UJ), which is one of the 15 universities which is provided CONSAL facility through the UGC. In 1974, Jaffna Campus of University of Sri Lanka was established with the Faculties of Science and Humanities, and in 1979, it was elevated to be a fully-fledged, autonomous university. -

This study evaluates existing knowledge, awareness, attitude and behavior, perceived issues, and solutions of undergraduates on major envi- ronmental issues of two national universities with different teaching methods of the Open University of Sri Lanka (OUSL: open distance learning) and the University of Peradeniya (UP: conventional). A questionnaire survey (29 structured and 04 open-ended items) was adapted with 800 undergradu- ates of engineering, science, management, law, and arts/ social sciences disciplines. We computerized descriptive statistics, such as frequency and cross-tabulation, and mean comparison using the SPSS software. The results showed that there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) of existing environ- mental knowledge in undergraduates of two universities. However, there was a significant difference in undergraduates’ family income (F = 5.387, p < 0.001) and family educational background (p < 0.05) with environmental knowledge. School education played a main role in building environmental Citation: Kuruppuarachchi, J.; Sayakkarage, V.; Madurapperuma, B. concepts for undergraduates.
