| Abstract | ||
| This study deals with the use of electronic references available at the library of Almustansiriah University by faculty members. It attempts to reveal the awareness of faculty members of the availability of the electronic references at the library in addition to the actual use of those references and the purposes of this use. Moreover, the study tries to display the importance of the availability of the electronic references at the library from faculty members’ point of views. It also seeks to point out the extent to which those references fulfill their purpose and the extent to which they are able to access those references effectively. Besides, the study aims at presenting the barriers which impede the teaching staff members from utilizing the electronic references efficiently. The study population consisted of (267) faculty members who have more than one academic year of teaching experience at the university. The respondents were 203 (or 76 %). The findings of the study revealed a lack of accessing the electronic references available at the library. Only 80 (or 39,4%) of the responds claimed use of electronic references. The result illustrated that faculty members benefit more from electronic references than from the paper versions, because electronic references fulfill their purposes of preparation for lectures and scientific research. Nevertheless 69 (or 86,3% )of the respondents feel that electronic references satisfy their purposes of use to a large or middle degree. The study also revealed that 123 (or 60,6%) of the non users respondents do not access electronic references due to many barriers.
