English abstract

In the current digital age, academic libraries are witnessing a pervasive integration of electronic resources as a commonplace occurrence. The rapid proliferation of the internet, particularly the World Wide Web, is displacing the traditional reliance on external storage mediums such as floppy disks and CD-ROMs. This shift is contributing to the global expansion of digital libraries, driven by the evolving landscape of information accessibility. Simultaneously, users are experiencing an escalating demand for electronic resources aligned with their academic requisites. This paper focuses primarily on internet-accessible resources, specifically those providing information not readily available through conventional media and associated with recognized scholars or institutions. The study critically examines various types of electronic resources, highlighting their advantages and inherent benefits. Furthermore, it delves into strategies aimed at optimizing the utilization of these resources and concludes with insightful suggestions to enhance electronic resource services to meet evolving academic needs.
