| Abstract: | The advent of e-resources and their increased use have changed the
library scenario from physical to virtual. Users’ preferences are more for
e-resources and virtual libraries with little attraction for physical libraries.
In spite of innumerable advantages of e-resources, there are certain problems
also relating to their acquisition, maintenance, management, etc. which need
collaborative efforts of professionals and all other bodies associated with
creation, distribution and use of these resources to establish the sound
practices and the models. The paper highlights these issues, emphasizing the need
to develop or procure an ERMS which can integrate all these resources along
with printed material to provide single window approach to all resources
available locally as well as globally in a universal library. |
