Faceted Search Interface for Library Portal to Support Scholarly Information Seeking from E-Resource Collection: A Case of NIT Rourkela

Abstract

One of the key purposes of the libraries is to serve or provide resources for the people of their interests. Academic libraries offer print and digital resources for their users to research, teach, and learn related to their interests. Print and digital resources are not separated in the library collection; both reside in the library. The substantial development of electronic publishing, distribution, access mechanisms, content delivery, and reading habit greatly impacted the collection development of digital or electronic resources, not only for acquiring but also for its organization and management.
