Over six in ten users of Lucknow University's Tagore Library now access digital collections through smartphones, according to university data from the past two years. Of the 3,936 registered remote-access users, 2,482 (63%) logged in via mobile devices while 1,454 used the web application. Research scholars drove nearly 70% of all e-resource downloads, recording 35,588 downloads, followed by undergraduates with 9,356 and faculty with 8,197. Among faculties, law had the highest remote logins (6,117 sessions), followed by BSc, MA, MBA and MSc students. Database use was led by ScienceDirect (8,368 sessions) and SCC Online (7,164). The digital shift complements rather than replaces physical infrastructure: the Cyber Library recorded 94,382 student visits across three labs in 2025.
