Abstract

Availability of various ICT tools and accessibility of electronic information resources across the world has fuelled the growth of e-learning. The present paper focuses on the use and awareness of various e-resources available in the Punjab Agricultural University library. The findings of the study reveal that the electronic resources have become an integral part of the information for various features such as ‘easy download’, 'fast searching capability', etc. Despite the fact that e-resources have eased the task of research, respondents still prefer information in both formats  'print as well as electronic'.
