ABSTRACT
The 21st century has been a witness to extreme levels of high competition with respect to the digitization of information and services to reach out to millions of users. People should be very well aware of the utilization of technology if used for the purpose of gaining knowledge; it also has to be channelized in the right direction. The electronic media is thus providing dynamic opportunities and possibilities for accessing information even at the global level. Electronic resources that are presently available are considered to be the pool of valuable information that is conserved by using modern information and communication technology devices. Information through e-resources can be collected to upgrade the knowledge and eliminating skill gaps that are the requirements in the present day’s situation. The present study focuses on the paradigm shift from conventional resources to electronic resources. It also brings to the fore the e-resources available in various formats and their impact on higher educational institutions.
