Enhancing E-Information Access at UA: Trends and Training Strategies

In an era where digital resources are essential, the need for physical storage is diminishing. Online e-information provides users with 24/7 access, supporting simultaneous usage unlike traditional library resources. To streamline access, we explore electronic publishing, effective communication through journal articles, and the implementation of user-friendly systems. Our approach includes tailored training for students and staff, ensuring all UA members benefit from comprehensive e-journals, databases, and resources. The focus remains on user satisfaction and accessibility, adhering to the KIS principle. **Relevant
