Engineering college libraries in India are facing challenges due to budget cut, in-sufficient staff, depreciation of rupee, abrupt hike in conversion of foreign currencies, and growth in the cost of publication. Due to many aspects mentioned above, engineering libraries are facing difficulties to acquire necessary books and periodicals as per the AICTE norms. Electronic resources are making a revolution in engineering college libraries. Many librarians consider that these resources are the best option to support major role in satisfying the user needs of research and development in the field of engineering. This paper discusses about the engineering college libraries, importance and impact of E-Resources on engineering colleges. The paper also explains about E-Resources and the role of E-Journals provided by the INDEST – AICTE consortium.
