This paper reviews key contributions to library marketing literature, from the early 1970s through the present. Many of the bibliographic citations lead to hundreds of publications authored over the last 30 years. As marketing developed in the United States and western culture, the majority of the publications are in English. The authors solicit contributions from non-Western authors and others considered key by readers to be included in a second article.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyse the use of electronic journals from the INFONET consortium by faculty and research scholars of physics and chemistry at Kurukshetra University, India.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is based on the results of a questionnaire distributed to all the teachers and research scholars of the two departments.FindingsThe main findings are that the respondents are more attracted towards e‐journals than print journals. However, they depend more on open‐source materials than those available via INFONET. Respondents also identified the need for training in using e‐resources and retrieving information from them from time‐to‐time.Originality/valueThe use of e‐resources, particularly e‐journals, is increasing in the developing countries. Studies such as this one are required to understand the problems faced by the users and to increase the use of e‐resources.
