Abstract	This study explores the attitudes and behaviors of students towards locating, identifying, and using information resources. It focuses on the awareness and usage of library sources and services among B.Sc (Agriculture) final-year students at the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad. Data were collected through a well-structured questionnaire administered to 86 respondents. The study revealed that 57% of the respondents were male and 43% were female. Most students prioritized the use of current information, with many utilizing journals such as IndiaStat.com, Journal of Eco-Friendly Agriculture, and Crop and Pasture Science. More than half of the respondents expressed satisfaction with library services, although students from rural backgrounds highlighted the need for Kannada-medium resources. The study suggests expanding collections, improving staff guidance, and strengthening subject-oriented journal subscriptions.
