Abstract

Libraries are an integral part of any academic system. Of late, they become vigorous and purposeful as the present period is a period of digital libraries, electronic libraries and virtual libraries. These changes demand development of modern skills to both library professionals as well as users. The information that is available in digital form requires IT enabled infrastructure facilities for its handling. With out adequate infrastructure facilities, Universities and colleges can not share their resources and the services provided by the University in an effective way to its users. This paper discusses the provision of infrastructure facilities extended to library users especially to the faculty members of Pondicherry University and the affiliated colleges to access the e-resources of the library of Pondicherry University.
