A pronounced move from print subscriptions to electronic resources in all types of libraries has fundamentally impacted the library and its users.

The aim of the research was to investigate how well libraries in Further EducationColleges were meeting the electronic resources needs of users. The objectives were to ascertain the range of electronic resources that are available in FE Libraries, examine the factors that determine what electronic resources are made available, identify the extent to which these e-resources are being used and look at factors that maybe a barrier to the use of electronic resources.The research was conducted among two Further Education Colleges. The methodundertaken included a group administered questionnaire and face to face semistructured interviews. Both the questionnaire and interviews were successful despite scheduling issues at both colleges which resulted in a low response rate for the questionnaire at one of the colleges.The results showed that both college libraries provide a wide range of electronicresources. Some of the factors that determine what electronic resources are made available include reading lists, request from tutors, cost, content and compatibility issues. The most used electronic resource was the Internet and Email while other electronic resources such as Databases, E-books, E-journals and the Library Catalogue were less widely used. The results also showed that the majority of learners at both colleges have had some form of information skills training and most of them are satisfied with the electronic resources available. Some of the barriers to using electronic resources include technical problems accessing the electronic resources, student's lack of information skills and lack of awareness of what is available.This research has shown it is essential that libraries continue to promote its services and collaborate with tutors on the use of e-resources and information skills training. E-resources should also be reviewed and monitored vigorously to ensure they are fit for purpose and are meeting the needs of users.

A library user can’t access an article. Your log in credentials won’t work. In the realm of electronic resources everything runs smoothly—until suddenly, without warning, it doesn’t. Invariably, systems will break down, but a trial and error approach to finding out what’s wrong is highly inefficient. This hands-on guide from two expert ERM librarians walks you through the essentials of troubleshooting. It outlines a methodical process that will help you identify the source of a problem even when it’s not obvious and take steps to reach a resolution. With the goal of developing a library-wide workflow in mind, this guide will teach you how to familiarize yourself with the components of electronic resources, using flowchart diagrams of common access chains such as discovery services, knowledge bases, research guides, and library services platforms; navigate the complete triage and troubleshooting workflow, illustrated through 14 in-depth examples; recognize the symptoms of common access disruptions; conduct efficient troubleshooting interviews; manage help tickets and design problem reports that capture key information without overburdening the user; create publicly available help pages for problems originating with users’ devices or computers; communicate with vendors and IT personnel for speedy resolutions, providing dozens of clear definitions of library and technology terms that will help you minimize confusion; and customize your own troubleshooting workflow chart for common use across departments and staff hierarchies.
