The educational institutions of all levels are seen accessing and relying upon these web-based information resources. The Ph.D. research scholars are seen using the web-based information resources in abundance for their research purpose. Thus, this study prioritizes to find out the difference between male and female Ph.D. research scholars of Dibrugarh University in their attitude towards using web-based information resources and difference among Arts, Commerce, Science stream Ph.D. research scholars of Dibrugarh University in their attitude towards using web-based information resources. The researcher found that there was no difference between Male and Female Ph.D. Research Scholars of Dibrugarh University in their attitude towards using Web-Based Information resources. There is a significant difference in the attitude of the Arts and Science Stream Ph.D. Research Scholars towards using Web –Based Information Resources. There is a significant difference in the attitude of the Arts and Commerce Stream Ph.D. Research Scholars towards using Web –Based Information Resources.
