Abstract
E-resources are vital in every walk of life, academic or otherwise. E-resources can be found in a variety of forms, such as electronic databases, journals, online books, OPACs, etc. Due to their excellence in every way, including accessibility and aesthetic appeal, these resources are gradually displacing the information gathering practices of academics. The purpose of the survey is to examine the awareness and use of electronic resources by faculty members of autonomous colleges affiliated to Mahatma Gandhi University, Kerala, India. 350 faculty members were given a structure questionnaire; 326 of those filled and returned it. Only questionnaires that have been properly completed and returned were used in this study. 26.69% of the 326 respondents in total visit the library twice every week. Most respondents are familiar with electronic books, journals, theses and dissertations, and conference proceedings. It should be highlighted that preparing for assignments and lectures accounts 33.4% of all e-resource usage.
