Inadequate FundsEffective library management and service delivery depends on the availability of adequate funding. While preparing the budget for e-resources, the high price of e-resources, price fluctuations, different pricing models, inflation, etc. should be taken into account. With the emergence of electronic resources, librarians are faced with the challenge of acquiring the sophisticated equipment necessary to access them. and the use of these materials. The cost of acquiring such equipment really constitutes a problem in the face of insufficient funding. Funding still remains one of the outstanding issues hindering the growth of libraries in many parts of the country. Lack of funds hinders adequate continuing education of library staff. Eze (2012) pointed out that inadequate funding constitutes a major obstacle to the development and maintenance of electronic resources, especially in developing countries. The computerization and automation of library services and the subsequent acquisition of electronic resources can only be facilitated when there are sufficient funds to do so. Funding is essential to any library initiative, especially for electronic information resources. Electronic resources are very expensive in terms of hardware and software. Most academic librarians have been unable to satisfy the information needs of their academic users because it is rather expensive to regularly subscribe to all the books and journals they need. Lack of funds posed a major challenge to effective ICT integration and acquisition of relevant electronic resources. The majority of academic libraries do not have a separate budget for electronic resources. Insufficient or no funding is a major challenge facing academic librarians when developing an electronic resource collection. This is particularly affected when acquiring computers, application software...... middle of paper...... the librarian ensures that cataloged electronic resources are preserved and made accessible for the present as well as for the future. users? Third, given the mutability of electronic materials, how does the librarian ensure that catalog records reflect the current state of the cataloged item? Internet resources change content and computer location or disappear permanently. The Librarian has no control over whether or when such changes will occur. The responsibility for discovering changes to electronic resources fell to the librarian who cataloged them. As OCLC's Martin Dillon and Eric Jul say, "Maintaining a link between a bibliographic record and the resource it describes is essential, but the volatility of Internet resources can make this difficult." Overcoming this volatility in resource availability must be a high priority for research and testing.".
