Indian Statistical Institute, India, AMET University, India & Coorg Institute of Technology, India | | Abstract: This study presents the survey results obtained from 150 professionals employed at various engineering colleges
in Karnataka, India, with an aim to understand the efforts of information users in traveling extra miles to accomplish the
information needs of the generation Z. It describes the initiatives, efforts, arrangements, and work carried out by information
users in the provision of access to e-Resources and also examines barriers in extending e-Resource services. Findings reveal
that majority of the information users are providing digital services in spite of lack of support from their management and
subsequently lack of demand from the user. | | Keywords: Online Database, E-Resources, Electronic Resources, Academic Institutions, Engineering Colleges Digital Information and Provision of E-Resources and its Services in Engineering Colleges |
