In the current era of information technology, library users are bound to use e-resources, if at all they are to keep abreast of the latest knowledge in their respective field of interest flooded globally. Traditional resources are gradually being replaced by digital resources in the contemporary modern libraries, apparently due to their inherent benefits which the print resources cannot bring. This paper presents and analyses the status of electronic resources facilities and services provided by the Amity University, Jaipur. It also discusses the purpose of using e-resources, benefits, subject coverage status, overall user satisfactions, problems that are faced by user's Amity University, Jaipur, while accessing e-resources and perceived impact of e-resources on users. Finally, it reports the results from questionnaire-based survey of e-resources use and its impact on user's Amity University, Jaipur.
