Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to provide a review of the recent studies on the use of e-resources by academics and professionals. The literature search rendered N= 63 literature and n= 32 articles were identified on the use of e-resources in higher education. During the past decade, there has been a steady growth in the research base on the use of e-resources. Most of these studies have been conducted in institutions of higher learning and focused mainly on primary research usage or the ways scholars use e-resources for teaching and research. These studies which include descriptive survey research and case studies succeed to draw many conclusions about the behaviour and preferences of users, although sometimes the conclusions are contradictory. In the present work, each study has been evaluated according to the following criteria: awareness regarding e-resources, preference of users, purpose of using e-resources, satisfaction with eresources and problems encountered in using e- resources.
