Abstract

Information technology (IT) has made management of information a relatively easier task thus helping in quick and easy access to information. The growing impact of IT has compelled librarians to use IT effectively to render service. With the growing number of e-sources, it has become imperative for information professionals to redefine the process of collection development. This paper gives an overview of the subject in the electronic era with special reference to Internet resources.
