This study explores the implementation and utilization of electronic resources in the Galgotias University Library, aiming to enhance access to information, improve user engagement, and support the academic needs of students and faculty. The transition from traditional print materials to electronic resources is driven by the need to meet the evolving demands of the academic community and leverage advancements in digital technology. Through a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and case studies, the study investigates the current state of electronic resource implementation, identifies challenges, and provides recommendations for effective utilization. The findings indicate that electronic resources significantly increase access to a wide range of academic materials, offering 24/7 availability and supporting remote learning. User engagement is enhanced through diverse digital content and interactive platforms, which contribute to a more enriching educational experience. However, challenges such as budget constraints, technical issues, and the digital divide persist. Effective strategies, including comprehensive training programs, user-centered design, and strategic partnerships, are essential for maximizing the benefits of electronic resources. This study concludes that the successful implementation and utilization of electronic resources in the Galgotias University Library can transform it into a dynamic information hub, fostering a more inclusive and accessible academic environment. Continuous evaluation and adaptation of strategies are recommended to address ongoing challenges and leverage new opportunities in the digital landscape.
