e-Resources nowadays act as a new platform for source of information. Users are changing their
pattern of accessing information from print format to electronic. Knowledge resource centres are
upgrading their resource collection and pattern of dissemination of information. Obviously, AYUSH
Institutions (NIA, NIS, NIU and NIH) libraries are working hard to overcome the challenges of
meeting changing information needs and seeking to identify the attitudes of the users toward electronic
resources owing to their perceived effect on research. Hence, the present study explored the
perceived effect of accessibility and utilization of electronic resources on research productivity in
AYUSH Institutions.
