Digital Resources: What academic libraries need to know and how important they are

Abstract

New technologies have always piqued the interest of libraries because they can improve service quality and operational efficiency. Public, academic, and special libraries alike are currently eager to embrace new technologies, particularly the usage of e-resources, as they provide the opportunity to lower operating costs and enhance administration of users and collections. Electronic copies of books, journals, and other reading materials that have been digitized so that computers can read them are known as e-resources. These days, a large number of library resources are available electronically and online. Anytime, anywhere, around the clock, everyone can get the information they need.
