Writing on the advantages of electronic resources, Dadzie (2007) writes that electronic resources are
invaluable research tools that complement the print – based resources in a traditional library setting. Their
advantages, according to her include: access to information that might be restricted to the user due to
geographical location or finances, access to more current information, and provision of extensive links to
additional resources related contents. This rapid emergence and development of electronic information
technologies therefore makes it possible to envision radically different ways of organizing the collections and
services the library has traditionally provided. While libraries approach a crisis point in financing collection
development, these new technologies offer possible ways to mitigate costs and revolutionize ways to access
information.
