Abstract

Electronic information resources (EIRs) play an important role in learning process at university level by providing information resources regardless of time and place. The objective of this study is investigating the electronic information resources usage of Afghan international university students in Malaysia. Data was collected through an online survey from 117 Afghan international university students and was analyzed using descriptive analysis using SPSS version 23. This study found the frequency of EIRs usage among Afghan international university students is quite low. The implication of the study is that Malaysian universities should provide fast access to the internet and increase computer availability in their libraries, also provide compulsory and long term EIRs training programs in order to increase EIRs usage among international students.
