Conclusion
The goal of the college libraries is to provide an effective combination of print, non-print and electronic resources to support of teaching, learning and research but the status of use of e-resources among the faculty and students is still at its infancy.
The student community has yet to explore to potential benefits of various forms of e-resources that could suitably help their scholastic needs. So college authority and library staff must concentrate on up gradation of library regarding use and accessibility of e-resources.
