The aim of the research was to investigate how well libraries in Further EducationColleges were meeting the electronic resources needs of users. The objectives were to ascertain the range of electronic resources that are available in FE Libraries, examine the factors that determine what electronic resources are made available, identify the extent to which these e-resources are being used and look at factors that maybe a barrier to the use of electronic resources.The research was conducted among two Further Education Colleges. The methodundertaken included a group administered questionnaire and face to face semistructured interviews. Both the questionnaire and interviews were successful despite scheduling issues at both colleges which resulted in a low response rate for the questionnaire at one of the colleges.The results showed that both college libraries provide a wide range of electronicresources. Some of the factors that determine what electronic resources are made available include reading lists, request from tutors, cost, content and compatibility issues. The most used electronic resource was the Internet and Email while other electronic resources such as Databases, E-books, E-journals and the Library Catalogue were less widely used. The results also showed that the majority of learners at both colleges have had some form of information skills training and most of them are satisfied with the electronic resources available. Some of the barriers to using electronic resources include technical problems accessing the electronic resources, student's lack of information skills and lack of awareness of what is available.This research has shown it is essential that libraries continue to promote its services and collaborate with tutors on the use of e-resources and information skills training. E-resources should also be reviewed and monitored vigorously to ensure they are fit for purpose and are meeting the needs of users.

Get informed answers to your questions and concerns about integrating the materials in your library's collection Library collections have always included materials in many formats--handling a mix of material types is an accepted part of library work. And in recent years, the very concept of "collection" has been significantly redefined by the addition of electronic resources. But are print and digital materials really merged in library collections or are they treated and maintained as separate entities? Integrating Print and Digital Resources in Library Collections examines a variety of collection management issues, combining practical theory, research findings, "how-to" articles, and opinion pieces to encourage efforts in establishing fully integrated and accessible collections. While achieving a truly integrated collection can be difficult, the failure to do so can lead to duplication of access, effort, and expense. Integrating Print and Digital Resources in Library Collections can help guide you through the difficult aspects of keeping your collection up-to-date, including the "Big Deal" and consortial purchasing, shifting the emphasis from purchasing print to procuring online resources for library reference work, analyzing use patterns of electronic versus hard copy resources, serials workflow studies, and review projects. Integrating Print and Digital Resources in Library Collections examines: the implications of electronic resource licenses future directions of academic reference collections technologies that can help integrate electronic resources into reference collections the "Big Deal"--the purchase of access to large aggregations of materials in electronic formats integrating electronic resources into the collections of ARL libraries a corporate library's progression to an all-digital collection how to decide what can--and can't--be digitized how large e-book collections affect the circulation of comparable print collections and much more Integrating Print and Digital Resources in Library Collections is an invaluable resource for librarians--experts and beginners--seeking to develop the best collections for their patrons.
