Abstract

A library website is a platform that offers access to various -resources, including electronic resources. A user friendly library website can boost user experience and empower easy access to electronic resources. To effectively  utilise electronic resources on a library website, users should be conversant with the site's interface, understand how  to conduct searches, and have access to technical support. Electronic resources through library websites offer many  benefits, such as convenience, 24/7 access, and cost-effectiveness, but limitations, such as restricted access, should  also be considered. In summary, a user-friendly library website is vital for accessing electronic resources efficiently,  and while electronic resources have many profits, their limitations should also be acknowledged.
