Abstract

INFLIBNET under its consortium scheme has introduced the users of GauhatiUniversity with the ejournal facility. The e-journal facility provided under INFLIBNET has brought another opportunity for the university libraries to serve their users with high quality content. E-journal consortium of INFLIBNET has been introduced in Gauhati University since 2004. Although research study has already identified that at the initial years the usage of the e-journal was not satisfactory but with the fulfillment of the different identified conditions of the earlier study, there has been a drastic change in the usage of the e-journal facility. This change needs to be further evaluated to identify the real picture of the usage. The paper identifies the trend of usage of e-journal facility at Gauhati University. It also identifies the period and month in which the usage of e-journal is found to be maximum.
