English abstract

This article describes the evolution of e-journals, their advantages and disadvantages for contemporary libraries. Developments in information technology have brought e-journals as basic information sources to research community and these are emerging as major sources of scholarly communication. There are different types of access to e-journals like free access, exclusive subscription, selective access, fee based access and consortium access. The advantages of saving storage space and the availability of multimedia information also seem to be non-negligible factors in the usage of e-journals. ‘Need special equipment’ and ‘lack of compatibility among different publishers were affirmed as some of the challenging factors in mounting e-journals.
