The utilization of electronic resources (e-resources) has become fundamental to the functioning of academic libraries worldwide. This paper explores the impact of e-resources on academic libraries, focusing on how they enhance research efficiency, accessibility, and knowledge dissemination. The shift from traditional print media to digital platforms has revolutionized information management, access, and retrieval. While e-resources offer significant benefits—such as broader access to global information, real-time updates, and cost-effectiveness—they also present challenges, including issues of digital literacy, infrastructure, and resource overload. This study reviews the advantages and limitations of e-resources in academic libraries and evaluates current trends in e-resource management. Furthermore, it discusses the historical evolution of e-resources in academia and projects future developments in integrating advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning into resource management systems.
