Author(s): Prateek Vaid, Dr. Akash Singh & Dr. Ravish Verma
Abstract - The rapid advancement of information technology has significantly impacted academic libraries by enabling remote access systems. This study evaluates the efficiency of remote access systems in managing electronic resources in Delhi's academic libraries. A mixed-methods strategy, incorporating quantitative data from surveys and qualitative insights from secondary sources, is employed for comprehensive analysis. The findings reveal that remote access systems improve the management and accessibility of electronic resources, leading to higher user satisfaction compared to traditional methods. However, system performance variations are attributed to infrastructure technology issues, limited user skills, and integration with library services. The study underscores the importance of robust, user-friendly remote access systems in supporting academic endeavors and identifies areas for optimizing digital resource management. Despite limitations such as geographical focus and potential response biases, the findings offer valuable insights into remote access systems' efficacy and suggest further investigations are warranted given their long-term impacts and technological advancements.
