Abstract:
In the present digital era, dissemination of e- information, e- resources to the scholastic
society and community has become an important task though information is transmitted
through various media such as periodicals, serials, journals, databases, etc. In this article
we come across the importance of dissemination of information through e- resources to the
academic community and the steps taken for the promotion of e- journals and e- resources
in India by the reputed organizations like UGC, INFLIBNET, CSIR, HELINET, FORSA,
IGCAR, JCCC & VIC, INDEST, SONET, OUHYD Math Consortium etc. Reflecting upon the
fast development of electronic journals, there is no doubt that electronic journals open up
many exciting service opportunities for academic libraries though this technology possesses
both advantages and disadvantages.
