Institutions of learning are increasingly changing academic resources and material into electronic form for learners' easy access. These electronic resources (e-resources) have enhanced information retrieval and improved accessibility of quality academic materials. As a result, academic institutions such as universities have invested vast amounts of money to make the best use of these e-resources...
At present, developing and managing a collection of e-resources is an essential responsibility of any university library in Sri Lanka, especially in order to go in parallel with their counterparts in developed world. However, these electronic resources are expensive and inevitable at the same time. This paper sheds light on the importance and utilization of e-resources, and discusses about the current...
Since its establishment six years ago as a leading research University in the Middle East, Khalifa University has transformed 90% of its library collection from print to electronic, with nearly 75% of its annual library budget going to pay for e-resources. Managing this transition from paper to a vast digital collection in such a short time has proven to be a challenging evolutionary experience. This...
The study investigated use of electronic resource by students of College of Business Administration and College of Information Technology. That is, it examined possible factors and problems in their searching habits, information seeking, use and retrieval in satisfying their needs. Therefore, the study focused on information seeking behaviour of students and barriers to utilizing online resources...

Backbone networks are migrating to IP over WDM architectures. In such multi-layer network configurations, it is necessary to combine efficiently the resources of both layers in order to provide enhanced quality of service (QoS) to the end-users. In the context of existing IP networks, flow-aware networking (FAN) has been proposed in order to provide QoS guarantees to multiplexed IP flows within an...
The proliferation of digital libraries and the large amount of existing documents raise important issues in efficient handling of documents. Printed texts in documents need to be converted into digital format and semantic information need to be parsed and managed for effective retrieval. In this work, we attempt to solve the problems faced by current web based archives, where large scale repositories...
