Impact of Network Information on the Management of Library E-Resources

The Internet-based electronic resources (e-sources) are growing dramatically, however, there have not been enough studies evaluating the impact of e-sources in library source management. This study tries to investigate how much e-sources have been used in the area of library and information science (LIS) during the period 2001 to 2008. Characteristics of network information resources management are proposed and discussed in this study for the impact measurement. This paper develops a framework for categorizing the main management issue of e-resources in library.
