Abstract
- The article presents a comparison between print and electronic medium of writing. At a time hand written words were thought to be more valuable than printed ones. But these fears disappeared with time and printing revolution provided better ways to collect, organize, shelve and retrieve the material. The advent of the world wide web has changed the ways of dispensing and receiving information. In the publishing world electronic journals are representing this change. The electronic publishing also came with its advantages and disadvantages and is compared with its electronic counterpart. There is also an explanation of how libraries are getting influenced with this change in terms of its management and employees. A survey conducted among library employees shows that there has been much improvement in electronic journal publishing but there are many issues which are left unresolved. It also explains the complications involved in accessing the journals and the kind of people required by libraries to make the task easy.
