Abstract This study reports the use of electronic information resources by engineering students at Sir M Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology (Sir MVIT), Bangalore. This study is trying to verify and evaluate the purpose, frequency, reasons of using and place of students’ access to e-resources, and survey method was used for the study. A structured questionnaire was administered to the 80 engineering students. Data collected were analysed using simple descriptive statistics. It is found that maximum students are aware and use e-resources of library and most of the engineering students use search engine for accessing e-resource is Google.

The present study demonstrates the growth of Chemistry literature for the period 2005-2016. A total of 24322 records were extracted from the Scopus Database for twelve years which is used as main source of primary data for the present study. The growth models were applied for the literature of Chemistry. The result of the study indicates that, the Relative Growth Rate (RGR) of Chemistry publication found to be decreasing trend and Doubling Time (Dt) found to be increasing trend. The growth of literature in the field of Chemistry does not follow either Polynomial or Power growth model. The study concluded that there has consistent trend in the growth of Chemistry literature. The study can be concluded that chemical literature follows the moderately follows Linear growth, Exponential growth and Logistic growth model.

With the evolution of Digital Media, Libraries and Information Centres are flooded with Digital Information. With the burgeoning of the infrastructure in information industry, the complexity in the digital environment has diversified consequently the users are experienced with diverse and profuse information abundance in their academic pursuits. Also, in the Digital information environment, increasingly information comes to users in unfiltered formats, raising questions about its authenticity, validity and reliability. This uncertain quality and expanding quantity of information poses a large challenge to society. To, address this malady, the Information Literacy comes into picture, which is a set of abilities to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate and use effectively the needed information. The study attempts to investigate the Information Literacy levels among the Students of selected Institute of higher learning. As the study is a survey based research, questionnaire method was adopted for data collection. A well structured questionnaire was framed after due consultation with the experts in the field both offline as well as online, for collecting primary data from the target population. The major findings of the study reveal that majority of the students are not well versed with the concept of information literacy.

E-Resources are short term for Electronic Resources or electronic information resources. An electronic resource is any information source that the library provides access to users in an electronic format. The libraries of engineering colleges have purchased subscriptions to many electronic information resources in order to provide access free of charge to the users. This paper aims to study the electronic information resources and services available on the library websites of engineering college libraries in Marathwada region. Also highlights Definitions, Types of E-resources, Purpose of E-Resources, Engineering Education, Libraries of Engineering Colleges, Websites of Engineering College Libraries, E-resources on the Websites and Conclusions.
