The study examines the awareness and accessibility levels of electronic resources (EResources) among employees and students within academic and institutional environments.
In the digital era, E-Resources have become central to research, learning, and professional growth. Yet, differences in awareness and use continue to exist among user groups. This
study seeks to compare the availability, usage frequency, problems, and E-Resource preferences among employees and students. A quantitative research design was used, where
structured questionnaires were administered to a sample of 200 participants from both groups. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The conclusions
indicate wide gaps in levels of awareness, access platforms, and usage frequency between the two groups, necessitating specific digital literacy interventions. The article concludes with
suggestions to improve E-Resource utilization and accessibility among all groups.
