Information is critical to successful implementation of responsible fisheries management at local, regional and global levels. Information, whether on paper or electronic media must be available and accessible and its content must be known to potential users. Electronic information services are crucial to the development of fisheries sector, fisheries education, research and development in India. There are four fisheries college libraries in South India which are rendering electronic information services to the users to fulfill the mandate and mission of the fisheries institutions. This paper describes the evaluation of electronic information services in the light of current status of electronic information services in fisheries college libraries in South India. It also poses the challenges these libraries and information centers face and suggests possible solutions.
