                Information is being generated at blistering pace from all the directions in varied forms and for all the themes. In addition, technology has opened new vistas to a wide spectrum of information with the recent advances in contemporary networking and multimedia technologies. Libraries and information centres now stand at the brink of a new frontier, where the flow of information is sweeping. Current developments have paved ways for the availability of scholarly information in electronic form called as electronic journals.

Electronic journals play an imperative role in the distribution of prime information and are available electronically via web.
