Abstract:
Traditionally, the libraries have print-oriented collections. With the publishing world steadily
moving from print to electronic, the libraries are also slowly adopting to the changes. Electronic
information environment facilitates enhancement in the speed of service, number of users served,the quantum and exhaustiveness of information provided. However, the libraries need to have a methodical approach to move from print to electronic media. They should have well defined
policies in place. This paper specifically focuses on the new policies adopted by Scientific Information Resource Centre (SIRC) of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in acquiring
e-resources with particular reference to Electronic Journals.
