Abstract
This study examined evaluation of e- resources in academic'• libraries. Sun•ey research design \\'as used wl1ich involved the use of questionnaire as the major instrument. Data was analr::.ed using frequencies and percellfages. The study found that the libraries have in their collections e- resources. it was also disco1•ered that there is need for evaluation of e- resources. Among the criteria used in evaluation are: authority, cost, relei'Gnt, coverage, currency. etc. it was also found that the librarians idemify relevant e- resources through vendors. online reading, other librarians, academic staff, and studellts. Among the challenges of using E- resources are finance, lack of technical knowhow, power outage and low bandwidth. It is recommended that libraries and librarians should take evaluation of e- resources very seriously because there is explosion of e- resources. Evaluation will enable the libraries to acquire the relevallt and necessary e- resources in order to satisfy users.
