Use of Electronic Information Resources in Libraries

Tanvi Bhardwaj, Sapna Sharma

The main aim of the University library is to support the University in the area of learning, teaching and research. The library is regarded as the heart of any academic organization. University libraries all over world have their own place of importance in the scheme of higher learning. Libraries are not only repositories of knowledge but also dispensers of such knowledge. There is no doubt that where libraries of universities and institutions of higher learning are ignored or not given due recognition, the country as a whole suffers because the standards of study, teaching and research very heavily depend upon the qualities and quantitative service rendered by the university libraries. The findings of this paper would be useful in framing effective policies, in respect of electronic information resources, in university libraries, which in turn would help library users, to use libraries facilities in an effective and friendly manner. The study would be useful for making infrastructure for digital library. The findings of this study would also assist libraries in India to develop strategies and policies that could make better use of electronic information resources and its services. Present study conducted on 900 respondents chosen from 4 central universities in Delhi, data analysis done by Linkert scale via questionnaire.
