Abstract

In the twenty-first century, most legal academics preferred e-resources to e-journals, e-judgments, e-books, and legal databases because of their breadth, extensive indexing and analytical content, and rapid updates. To compete for and succeed in most law careers, law students must be proficient users of these databases. Scholars can benefit from print resources and less advanced internet technologies. Locating useful information in a timely manner is critical for both researchers and information professionals. The new and current trend in library services is to access library collections electronically for economic and user-friendly reasons. Library professionals believe that electronic information plays an important role in providing users with up-to-date information in a timely manner. The goal of this study is to learn about the use of electronic resources and information at India National Law
University. The research's primary goal is to learn about the availability and use of electronic resources, services, and facilities in national law university libraries. According to the findings, library staff should assist students in locating electronic resources and information on their own. It is proposed that law libraries embrace the practice of soliciting user input to improve their facilities and services, which will undoubtedly contribute to the strength of the library services.
