Abstract:
Libraries, faced with declining budgets, increasing subscription prices have found themselves
unable to purchase all publications and materials that their users would generally
expect to have. To compensate for this, there is shift to subscribe the journals by other
models and methods. Library consortia are one of the most effective means for libraries
to subscribe to E-journals. University libraries in India are accessing e-journal under
UGC-INFONET E-journal consortium. This facility has also been extended to libraries in
North Eastern region. This paper reflects on the growing importance of usage statistics
of electronic journals, their increasing use, and in particular universities in North East
region It highlights the current usage of various e-resources accessed by the users of
different universities located in North East region.
