<![CDATA[The advancement of technology, the changes of user information behavior and scientific communication patterns among scholars, and the demand of the variety of collections have encouraged academic libraries to re-orientate and re-envision the provision of information resources. Besides printed materials, academic libraries are required to accomodate the information needs by acquiring non printed materials or electronic information resources. The provision of electronic resource, in addition, is aimed to provide a wider access to information.
