Since the last two decades, many changes have been brought in the field of science and technology. Information Technology is one of the important innovations and the internet has changed the dissemination of information slowly from paper based to web based. The internet and the web demonstrate that a large amount of electronic information can be hosted in a decentralised fashion in a cost effective manner. These types of information resources on the web also vary from authentic primary information regarding the latest research result to ephemeral product catalogs. The web has also freed the user's dependence on library resources for finding information related to address and contact details of a person/institution, content pages of books, abstract of journals, etc. As far as possible, especially for reference and information services looking at the web has become an innovative trend in the reference service At present, many academic institutes in India have their own websites for providing all information about them. Some of the departments also have separate websites, which provide the basic strengths of the departments and the institutions.
