However, the University is getting e-resources through consortia from the year 2012 onwards. To assess the usage of these e-journals by the users of Central University of Orissa, the author analyzed the statistics using INFISTAT of INFLIBNET. It was found that there are certain resources which are being utilized more by the users, which reflects the popularity of the journals as well as the publisher.
