Presently, e-resources and e-service have played a significant role in the libraries. The current research study evaluates the information-seeking behavior of faculty members and the students towards provided library information resources and services in Haryana’s selected management and engineering institutions. The study is a prerequisite for improving information resources and services used for optimum level and plans as per prospects. Methodology: The researcher has distributed 660 questionnaires among faculty members, PG and UG students of NIT, Kurukshetra and GJU, Hisar engineering and management institute libraries. Findings: It was found that the majority of users were overall satisfied with available printed and ICT-based library information sources and services.
