Abstract
In this era of web-enabled technologies, E-learning has emerged as a boon to building knowledge skills amongst learners. Libraries are repositories of knowledge and the tremendous growth in digital/electronic resources has forced library professionals to use various information technology tools to manage and render services. Learners need a single interface where they can find all resources and support for their learning. A digital library can function as an information gateway and link students to library catalogues, online resources, e-resources, digital resources and discussion forums. The paper presents the need and importance of e-learning, how e-resources are included and organised in digital libraries to provide seamless access to information resources in an e-learning environment. It discusses Space Applications Library e-learning platform and various services rendered to e-learners.
