There are several issues and challenges in optimum utilization of e-resources. A few among them are under. The user attitude towards e-resources are most of the time, the facilities even the article they require is downloaded from internet and mailed it to them, they are of the habit of taking a print out and read the same instead the college students are being cultivated the habit of reading the articles on their laptops or         e-Book readers. So in such cases it would be difficult to make a shift form print ot non print media. Delivery of e resources mainly depends on the network, types of connectivity subscribed, leased line/broadband, speed of the network, bandwidth, hardware/software interface etc. platform incompatibility is another hindrance to the smooth functioning of the e resources. Uninterrupted power supply is another technical aspect. Infrastructure of the library also plays an important role in the access the e contents. Local infrastructure should be compatible with the service provider. Library should hav e an adequate digital library with end personal computers with DVD reader and writer, photocopy facility etc.
