With Information Literacy, one can identify, evaluate, apply and acknowledge the source of Information. Information Literate evolution plays a important function in the growth of the Nation. Significant steps need to be taken to transform the young Indians into Information literate Indians. The lifelong learning process should be an essential component of the Higher education system. The present study attempted to understand the level of understanding of information sources available in the university, recognize their level of digital Literacy, and find out their diverse search strategies.
