Abstract
A study was conducted to investigate the accessibility and use of e-resources in Tanzania. The
methodology adopted for the study was survey in which questionnaires, interviews and
observations were used in collection of the data. A total of 50 respondents participated in the
study. The study revealed that livestock research institutes in Tanzania had very few e-resources
for their researchers. It was concluded that most livestock researchers were not aware of most of
the e-resources available hence they could not access and use them effectively in their research
work. The researchers recommended for improvement of internet connectivity to enable efficient
information searching from the internet.
