It showed significant differences between these cases observed in the level alpha =0/05. - Using data banks based on age by using software - Using data banks based on teaching experience and search skills and using software - Using data banks based on degree by using data banks in the lights of investigation activities, training for using data banks and barriers for accessing data banks. The studies showed that the component of skill in the searching electronic data and using electronic data banks had highest mean of views in age group 34-40 years with mean 3.35. The component of skills in searching information and using software in faculties with teaching experience 6-10 years had highest mean of views with 4.03 and 4.08. Components of skill in search of information, barriers to access electronic information using databases electronic research activities had highest average in the faculty with PhD, respectively, with 3.94, 3.87 and 3.84 than faculty members with Master's degree. Faculty members with age between 34-40 and 6-10 years teaching experience had greater skill in using information and software than other faculty members with different backgrounds.
