In the present age of information exploration, knowledge of the latest and correct information is the key for personal and professional development, and electronic information resources are essential for academic purposes. With the advent of the Internet, users have more opportunities to access online information resources anytime and anywhere for academic and research purposes. The Internet is the gateway for libraries and information centers to enter the electronic information era and provides information generated by publishers, organizations, institutes, research centers, and individuals worldwide.
