Abstract
In the current information society, information and knowledge are the basic resources, and access to them is vital. Without the knowledge of ICT and information literacy skills, it is difficult to deal with the ocean of information and knowledge. The expression ‘e-library’ refers to information accessed through the Internet. Unlike traditional libraries, e-libraries are not limited by location or time. The primary goal of this study is to determine how the information literacy skills, especially among students of secondary schools, affect the use of e-library resources. For the present study a survey method of research and questionnaire were used for data collection. The questionnaires were distributed randomly to 120 students in the selected 2 schools – one government and one unaided – in Bengaluru. The purpose of the study is to find out the effects of information literacy skills on the use of e-library resources among school children in Bengaluru. The findings of this study call for well-integrated library instruction programmes and services to improve student information literacy skills.
