ABSTRACT
The information resources available to support research and education are increasingly available in digital format. This new frontier has been rapidly populated over the last ten years with an explosion of electronic resources (e-resources) in the form of newspapers, magazines, journals, books, data, images, music and other audio, videos, Web sites, geographic information, and so on. The electronic frontier offers the potential of integrating text, visual images, data, simulations, and sound. Responsibilities and relationships are in flux and the role of the library is still under discussion. This chapter will present some of the major trends in e-journals and other e-resources and discuss some of the implications for academic libraries.
