Abstract
Abstract This article documents the impact of electronic resources utilization on research productivity in Tanzania universities. To examine the impact of e-resources on research productivity, a structured questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were simultaneously used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. The study reveals that increased access to electronic research materials has an insignificant impact on research productivity. The low publications rate among the faculty members who participated in the present study is one of the indicators of ineffective utilization of the resources in research productivity. This has an adverse effect on the visibility of the universities as far as the research output is concerned.
