In the last few decades, many research studies have carried out on how academic community use electronic resources or on their feelings about electronic and print resources in the library. These usage studies draw many conclusions about the behavior and preferences of academic community, although sometimes the conclusions are contradictory or unclear. The way libraries organise, present and offer the e-resources can eliminate the barrier and get maximum utilisation with high recognition of their value. The present paper examines the existence and use of various e-resources in Valivalam Desikar Polytechinic College Library. The study also highlights the preferences and importance of resources among the teachers and students.
