Also, a rather large body of literature (especially from the USA) emphasizes the dramatic changes in the higher education system caused by the diffusion of new educational technologies, as well as the need for universities to radically change in order to stand both the social pressure and the competition from online
universities (Bates et al., 2000). Moreover, Indian Governement frequently invest money and adequate efforts to digitize higher education through subsequently providing E- resources through digital media, e-portals are apparently familiar amongst them. This paper tries to highlight the importance of e-Resource use and how they are access for academic performance and knowledge development. The data would be collected from University Students, Scholars and Teachers. Quantitative survey is applied in this study.
