E-RESOURCES

The advent of the Internet has dramatically changed the way people and institutions function. It has led to tremendous change in the way libraries function and offer services to their users. At present, the libraries actively procure, organize, display, and issue e-forms of books, journals, newspapers, theses, and dissertations. This is also due to changes in the information-seeking behaviour of users. The new generation of users prefers online resources as they want all information at the click of the mouse. The e-resources have certain inherent characteristic features that offer convenience to the users. The University Library has the facility to access the subscribed e-resources from off-campus which is Remote Access (INFED) ProQuest- Complete Medical Collection, Benthem Life Science Collection, DELNET, etc. It has a subscribed online database that consists of more than  8070 full-text scholarly journals, Open Access Full-text Journal 1816, and 374821 e-books that are a great support to the library user community. All the faculty members use this facility to access e-resources from off-campus by typing in Address Bar: https://id.sbvu.ac.in/
