Participation in these activities enables the librarians to develop skills and knowledge and be very efficient, increasing their ability to withstand the next rounds of budget challenges. The Project N-LIST provides access to more than 6,000 + e-journals and 31,35,000 + e-books to students, researchers and faculty members from colleges (covered under section 12B of UGC Act) and other beneficiary institutions. In an academic library, the librarian is involved in the evaluation, imparting training, promotion, monitoring all activities in providing better access to e-resources to the users of colleges. So the present study is to discuss the role of the librarian in promoting N-List e-resources usage in academic colleges of Pune affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University. To promote the use of N-list e-resources in academic libraries the library authorities should conduct awareness and orientation programmes about N-list e-resources for the faculty members and students separately.","PeriodicalId":338989,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Dissemination and Technology","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123905909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
