Abstract

Electronic resources are an invaluable asset in the health sciences field of academic activities. They have altered the conduct of teaching and learning by allowing faculty and postgraduates a wide range of opportunity for accessing accurate and timely information. This paper examined the use of e-resources by nursing faculty and postgraduates in selected nursing college libraries in Mangalore, Karnataka. It also assessed the users’ level of satisfaction, usefulness and impact of e-resources on teaching, learning and research. A well structured questionnaire was administered to 288 nursing professionals to elicit their opinion and collect primary data for the study. A total number of 238 filled in questionnaires were received showing an overall response rate of 82.6%.  The paper revealed that nursing professionals use various types of e-resources and it does have a favourable impact on their academic work, but they faced various problems while accessing these resources.
