              Impact of E-resources on Collection Development
                           ABSTRACT


There was a time when library resources consisted primarily of
‘print-on-paper’ resources. It was easy to rely on book reviews and
standard reference works as selection tools. The emergence of non-print
materials such as audiovisual materials and e-resources has made the
selection process more complex. With the advent of the Internet and
library networks and consortia, the ability to simultaneously share
virtual resources, cooperative collection development, through consortial
arrangements has become possible.  The colloquium will focus on growth of
e-resources, their evaluation, and how the collection development has been
affected by e-resources.
