Abstract
The advancement of technology and its applications have challenged the activities and functioning of libraries and information centres. Libraries have been employing new techniques and applications in the form of electronic resources and services to satisfy the needs of users. It is widely held view that low awareness and poor skills to use technology are the primary reasons of less utilization of electronic resources. This paper is an attempt to study the issues like attitude, usage and satisfaction of electronic information resources of users. A questionnaire based survey was used for data collection. Study reveals that the scientific respondents are overall satisfied with electronic resources. But in the cases of non-scientific respondents, electronic resources are not fully utilized. Lack of awareness and low skill levels are the main constraint to use EIRs. Study also recommended some comprehensive information literacy program that should be conducted to promote awareness and use of electronic information resources among non scientific staff.
