Abstract

This study aims to explore the development of the impact of e-books in academic libraries of the Bellari district. A survey was conducted to collect primary data from respondents through
a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire contains both types of questions closed-ended and open-ended. It was personally distributed to 100 Under Graduate students and
the 71 answered questionnaires were received back. It is found that respondents are using e-books for learning, preparing assignments, and updating subject knowledge. It is also viewed that students are facing difficulty in access to e-books a limited number of computers and a lack of training, etc. The common benefits of e-resources are easy to search, up-to-date, easy to share, and link to other resources.
