Libraries are essential to expanding our knowledge. Libraries function in a digital world these
days. E-resources contribute to the growth of knowledge. OPACs facilitate easy access to library
resources. Electronic resources have the potential to significantly influence our future as
technology develops further. A standardized questionnaire was employed by the researcher to
collect data from the faculty members and students. 136 valid responses were received out of 167
surveys that were distributed, yielding an 81% response rate. In this investigation, a random
sample method was applied. The obtained data was examined using Excel software. Of the
sample size used in this study, 89 (65.4%) are students and 47 (34.6%) are faculty members. The
majority of the faculty members and students are aware about the e-resources 101(74.3%).
Majority of the faculty members and students are used e-learning materials for their needs and
purposes 95(69.9%). Majority of the faculty members and students are used e-resources to keep
their knowledge in the current situations 32(23.5%). The majority of the faculty members and
students are used the e-resources in daily basis 69(50.7%). The majority of the faculty members
and students are fully satisfied while using the e-resources 70 (51.4%). The research paper
clearly deals with the Utilization and Awareness of Electronic Resources among the Faculty
Members and Students in the KSR Institute for Engineering and Technology, Tiruchengode: A
Case Study.
