Abstract

This study aimed to investigate academic staff’s perceived usefulness and expectations regarding accessibility of the Higher Education Commission (HEC) consortium of ejournals at the University of the Punjab. The oldest and largest university in Pakistan, the University of the Punjab was selected as a sample for a self-administered questionnaire-based survey. The results of the study indicated that the majority of the academic staff found HEC ejournals useful for their research tasks; these resources also improved their teaching experience. Academic staff (47%) also found core ejournals relevant to their subject through the consortium. Academic staff, mostly from the disciplines of life sciences, sciences, and engineering and technology, expressed their wish to expand subscription to even more ejournals specific to their discipline.
