User Study E-Resources in Academic Libraries

Abstract

Libraries of all types are embracing electronic & digital collections, although most libraries will continue to offer both print & electronic collections, for many years to come. New purchases of journals, magazines & abstracting and indexing services are heavily tilted toward electronic & digital. Such a dramatic switch from print collections of digital collections has an impact on library users' perceptions of the academic libraries. This article identifies the different types of users of academic libraries, & the availability of electronic & digital resources, which should be known to the minds of the users so that, the libraries can develop their collections systematically. The study also highlights the methods of using eresources, by the students & problems faced by them in doing so.
