Abstract

Electronic information resources in libraries have made remarkable changes in the users' perceptions towards print resources. A survey among 421 respondents in six state universities in Kerala reveals that the use of e-resources is considered as an advantage and it benefits the academic community. While analyzing the use of e-resources compared to the print resources, the statement 'E-resources affect the reading habit so it is not be encouraged' is rejected because it is not an advantage. All 12 hypotheses set for ‘benefits of electronic resources for accessing scholarly information' are accepted because all the regulatory constructs have significant influence on benefit of e-resources.
