Abstract
Library resource management has changed dramatically in the present age. The wide spread use of new technology in the publication of information through the Internet and World Wide Web meant that libraries must begin to develop web based information collections. This created a massive shift in the creation of information, its publication and dissemination of electronic information. Gradually the concept of library has changed very fast due to the impact of information communication technologies. Libraries possess now printed as well as e resources. They have moved from print based environment to electronic environment. As the information environment has changed rapidly from traditional libraries to electronic libraries, electronic publishing has almost replaced print on paper publication. It offers an alternative medium for readers. Dissemination of information at low cost and high speed that could not be obtained through paper has been achieved through electronic means. This resulted in the emergence of consortia that enabled libraries to have electronic access to professional literature included research journals, abstracts, review publications databases in science and technology social sciences and humanities. Thus electronic resources have become the vital part of university library collection in 21st century.
