Abstract

The use of e-resources in higher education is inexorable. E-resources help students complete a variety of assignments and projects, and you can learn from other sources. While there are many other materials that are not important for education, one needs to be extremely careful with the resources because they require intense concentration. So, both educators and pupils must focus. E-resources perform by reinforcing higher education and accomplishing educational objectives. Higher education becomes enjoyable and interesting with flexible success through electronic resources. E-resources combine online and offline resources. Apart from that, e-resources improve teaching and learning and are helpful in research activities that improve learning outcomes. Review and pay attention to the advantages and some of the challenges of electronic resources in higher education. The review selected articles published from January 2015 up to March 2021. The articles about electronic resources in higher education were taken into consideration. The findings indicate that e-theses, e-dissertations, e-journals, e-books, and conferences are useful in higher education. The study found that electronic resources are very necessary for helping lectures in the teaching and learning process. A part of those resources helps with knowledge updates for the faculty members as well as the administration. Finally, e-resources are associated with databases that help students with writing. The study recommends training and orientation before learning research activities. Having good and powerful WI-FI is needed on campus for better access to resources. Unity and motivation for those who will be accessing resources continuously.
