The development of an electronic library is a long and challenging process and libraries need to apply proper skills in planning the collection and manage both print and e-resources. During the last decade, the status of libraries has drastically changed due to emergence of e-resources. Since a vast amount of information is available in electronic formats on Internet, Librarian must not only identify and facilitate access to electronic information resources, but also educate library users about their availability and use patterns. Protection of intellectual property, security of electronic resources, user training etc. should also be considered as effective management of information within the electronic library.
