Abstract: University libraries in the electronic environment cannot facilitate their services without the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and e-resources (electronic resources) tools. The impact of such technologies has significantly changed the attitude of working of the university library professionals to enhance and provide the services to their users. Electronic, digital and virtual libraries are the new developments in the ever-growing ICT era. The main feature of the electronic resources (e-resources) is conveniently accessible within and outside the four walls of any library. This study applies a literature review method by reviewing the related articles. This paper discusses the concept, need, characteristics, types, Electronic Resource Management System (ERMS), and problems and challenges in managing the e-resources in the university libraries. This paper infers that Electronic resources have been developing by information providers and suppliers with new technological tools and techniques. The changing attitude of information seeking behaviour of users towards e-resources has also made an affect on the collection of information sources of the university libraries. E-resources based services in the university libraries should be performed effectively by using a standard Electronic Resources Management System/Procedure/Model.
