USE OF E-RESOURCES IN ACADEMIC STUDIES

 Researchers usually start their scientific and academic studies with a literature review by identifying the published information sources on the subject they want to examine. For this purpose, indexes and journals are scanned in libraries, bibliographic tags of the relevant resources are taken, they are searched in library collections and photocopied, if any. In long-term studies such as thesis or project, it is necessary to defeat the literature search to identify new sources, and in collaborative studies, group members should come together to share resources.

Electronic information resources that have emerged thanks to the developing information technologies can be listed as bibliographic and/or full-text databases, e-journals, e-books, open archives and web pages. These resources are usually produced and/or distributed by commercial publishing houses and/or professional organizations. Developing software applications and competition from database manufacturers/distributors offer users more comprehensive, user-friendly and effective resources. Thus, it provides significant time and labor savings in the process of utilizing information resources for scientists under intense research/study burden.
