Abstract:
The paper reports the results of a survey conducted to know the collection of e-resources in
Karnataka state university libraries. Attempts have been made to know the Internet facilities,
procurement of CD-ROM databases and online resources, participation in consortium activities
and e-resources accessible through such consortium activities in the university libraries. The paper
traces the barriers in collection of e-resources in the university libraries. The university libraries
under the study have insufficient number of Internet nodes, low bandwidth, poor collection of CDROM
databases and online resources. The scholarly literature accessible under the UGC-Infonet
E-Journal Consortium is the only strength of these university libraries, as far as collection of eresources
is concerned.]
