Abstract
The advent of information technology has had a significant and pervasive impact on almost all areas of library services. The library environment has changed rapidly, resulting in a new generation of libraries focused on electronic resources. As the popularity of electronic resources increases, librarians and staff are also concerned about electronic resources, their methods, access, evaluation, selection, organization, etc. In this study, the existing situation of electronic resources in some academic libraries in first class state colleges of Kolar district has been revealed. The study also shows the advantages of using electronic resources, the problems faced by users in accessing electronic resources, and the perceived impact of electronic resources on academic library users. Today, electronic resources have transformed the entire library systems and services. Whereas a decade ago most online information searches took place in libraries and information centers and were primarily related to scientific and technical bibliographic databases, today they are much more common in the workplace and at home, and literally anyone can sit down at a computer.
