About the Book
This book provides a comprehensive understanding of electronic resources and their growing importance in modern libraries and information centres. In recent years, the Internet and electronic resources have become one of the most widely used sources of information for researchers, teachers, professionals, and students. The increasing digitization of printed resources has significantly expanded the availability of books, journals, and academic materials in electronic format, making e-resources an essential component of library collections worldwide.
The book discusses major concepts related to e-resources including their need, utility, benefits, forms, types, challenges, management, and access. It explains how electronic resources have transformed collection development activities in libraries and how web-based information services are increasingly becoming central to library operations and user services.
Organized into thirteen chapters, the publication covers topics such as the history and development of e-resources, advantages and disadvantages of e-resources, open access educational resources, selection and acquisition methods, organization and management of e-resources, web-based services, evaluation techniques, access to electronic information resources, and the various challenges faced in handling digital collections. The book also includes bibliography and glossary sections for additional academic support.
Written in a clear and accessible style, this publication is intended primarily for students and researchers pursuing B.Lib.Sc., M.Lib.Sc., M.Phil., and Ph.D. programmes, as well as working library professionals. It is also highly useful for aspirants preparing for UGC-NET examinations in Library and Information Science. By bringing together comprehensive material on electronic resources, the book serves as an important academic and professional reference source for library science education and practice.
