Abstract
Description
Information and communication technology (ICT) has
transformed library services delivery. ICT has positively impacted
on information products, format and packaging. Consequently,
library materials which hitherto were only available in print
format are now accessible electronically. One important
information resource found in libraries is the journal. With the
evolution of ICT, journals are now available in electronic format.
This chapter examines the concept of electronic journals (also
called e-journals) and the important role they play in teaching and research. It discusses the role of academic libraries in the
acquisition and organization of e-journals.
