| dc.description.abstract | In this modern era, the utilization of digital resources has become indispensable, particularly in the field of education where it plays a pivotal role. Nepal Open University (NOU) acknowledges this shift and ensures that its stakeholders, including students, teachers, researchers, and academicians, have easy access to digital resources through its library. This accessibility extends to individuals from diverse educational backgrounds, spanning from Bachelor's to PhD level, residing in both urban hubs and remote, less accessible areas. This research explores the impact of gender on the use of digital resources, involving 200 respondents who participated through 25 questionnaires. Quantitative data is explored through Likert Scale questions using SPSS data analyzing program. The findings, analyzed using the Chi Square test, reveals significant relation between gender and digital resource usage (P value = 0.008<0.05). And Calculated value 11.94378> Tabulated Value 2.365974. Similarly, the study unveils no strong relation between education levels and digital resource preferences (P value = 0.192>0.05). Notably, Bachelor, Master, MPhil and PhD levels can proficiently use the library. Contrarily, the exploration of the relationship between urban and rural residential students and digital resource usage did not yield a significant association (P value = 0.748> 0.05) and (Calculated Value: 1.220554635< Tabulated Value: 7.814727903) suggests that there is no relation of use of digital resources and urban rural residential students. Regardless of their geographical setting, individuals proficient in internet usage can seamlessly access digital resources, emphasizing the universal accessibility of these resources.
