Academic Scientific JournalsSustaining e-resources in Nigerian University Libraries: results of a survey
Keywords:
electronic media, e-journals, academic libraries, Nigeria, ICT infrastructureAbstract
The article presents e-journals as they are dealt with in Nigerian academic libraries. It describes the key issues connected with e-journal storing in libraries. The article proves that most academic libraries in Nigeria have Internet access and sufficient e-technologies in order to make use of e-journals, but they cannot be always accessed by means of OPAC. The budget for printed resources is much more substantial than that for e-journals, and the most important problems faced by libraries is that of funding and facilities maintenance.
