This report aims to investigate the purpose of using e-journal resources, to identify barriers in using e-journals services and to identify e-journals impact on completing their assignments and tasks. Qualitative method were used to collect relevant data from the students by conducting semi-structure interview. The interview questions were designed to gather information about the awareness of e-journals, ways the students identify the sources they use, influences of usage, the factors encouraging their use, and the major barriers in term of using them effectively.

Accessibilities of e-journals were widely mentioned as the main advantage of ejournals. Even though, they faced barriers while accessing to e-journals, most of the respondents agreed that with the usage of e-journals the quality of their work improves with enrichment of contents and materials leading to high quality of research and assignments. It is however found that lack of awareness is obstacle in utilisation of e-journals.
