Exploring the Usage of E-resources among Research Scholars in Higher Educational Institution

Abstract

Users and library managers have access to a variety of search possibilities through the e-resources. The library can save its patrons time and space by utilizing electronic resources. The center of scholarly endeavors is the campus library. Nowadays, the majority of the library's resources are accessible online as databases, e-books, e-journals, and other electronic formats. Finding out which e-resources were used, how they were used, and why they were used was the aim of the study. Furthermore, the study seeks to provide light on the challenges experienced by research academics in utilizing electronic resources, as well as their perspectives on the attributes of electronic resources and their utility. The research included a structured questionnaire and purposive sampling methodology. The purpose of the study was to determine whether e-resources were used and how they were used in facilities because the majority of research scholars do not know how to use them. Furthermore, many are unaware that remote access facilities are available and can be used for their research.
