Abstract
The study examines how faculty members at Government Serchhip College access e-resources. This research aimed to examine faculty members' understanding of e-resources and their associated components, such as identifying and acknowledging sources of information utilized for teaching, as well as determining techniques for locating and assessing information resources. A structured questionnaire was constructed and distributed to all 53 faculties at Government Serchhip College for data collection, with 41 (77%) completed questionnaires obtained for analysis. A purposive sampling technique was carried out for this study. Further, the data was scrutinized using both Google Forms and MS Excel. Overall, it was determined that faculty members require specialized professional development programs and resources to facilitate their use of electronic resources. To meet these needs, Government Scholarship College can create a program to help teachers and students learn how to use electronic resources. This study emphasizes the need to assess faculty skills with electronic resources as a strategic investment in academic quality and institutional growth. By providing teachers with the essential skills and expertise, academic institutions may develop an environment of creativity and intellectual inquiry, improving the academic experience for all stakeholders.
