e-resources
Web-based library holdings
E-resources are electronic resources—digital materials accessible through computers or the internet.
The term appears most often in library contexts, referring to databases, e-books, online journals, and other digital collections: The library's e-resources include access to academic journals and streaming films.
The hyphen distinguishes the compound from unrelated words.
