Abstract

Judicial Libraries have traditionally played a central role in collecting and organizing legal material and giving wide access to culture and knowledge. The utilisation of electronic resources and legal information in Indian court libraries is examined in the present paper. The study's primary goal is to identify the accessibility and utilisation of electronic resources, services, and facilities in judicial libraries as well as new problems and obstacles associated with the digital age. The goal of the current study was to assess the usefulness of print and electronic legal resources as well as the frequency and purposes of using electronic information resources in judicial libraries. It emphasises the resources or tools used to provide the services, as well as the difficulties faced while providing those services to library customers and potential solutions.
