- W130800714 abstract "Introduction Since the seventieth century the printed journal has been the backbone of scholarly communication. Nevertheless, with the emergence of internet and World Wide Web in the 1990s, the form of journals has been transformed into digital version that saves physical storage, enhance different searching capabilities and speed both access and delivery of articles to readers This event marked the paradigm shift in scholarly communication, from printed journals as the principle medium of communication to electronic journals. As a result of potential benefits offered by electronic journals, many academic libraries have embraced electronic journals and cancelled subscription to printed journals (Moyo, 2002; Mutula, 2007 and Thanuskodi, 2011). Today, the use of electronic journals is becoming important among researchers and academic staff worldwide vis a vis printed journals. For example, in higher education, scholarly electronic journals have become essential tools for learning and research as they provide access to timely, high quality and relevant scientific information to scholars and researchers with a view to keep them abreast with new discoveries and developments. Moreover, members of academic staff use electronic journals to update their lecture notes as well as avoiding duplication of efforts. On the other hand, electronic journals have added enormous resources to the collection and improved services of the library, enhanced access to journal literature and decreased demand for photocopy services as well as document delivery (Madhusudhan and Chirra, 2009 and Madhusudhan, 2010). However, in recent decades, the majority of researchers and academicians particularly in the developing countries have been deprived of access to the key research literature that is found mainly in expensive journals published in developing countries. This situation is due to reduced library budget which could not cope with the enormous journal subscription cost and inadequate distribution mechanism (Rosenberg and Raseroka, 2000; Rao, 2001; Moahi, 2002; Lwoga et al., 2007). Nevertheless, enormous progress has been done in the last few years to ensure that scholars and researchers in Africa can access the growing quantities of information now produced in electronic format. Support has been provided in setting up the necessary network infrastructure and providing the requisite hardware and software. Also, negotiation with publishers have resulted in electronic journals and databases being made free or at heavily discounted prices through programmes like Access Global Online Research in Agriculture (AGORA), HINARI Access to Research Initiatives, The Essential Electronic Agriculture Library (TEEAL) and Programme for the Enhancement of Research Information (PERI), Online Access to Research on Environment (OARE) and a lot of training has taken place (Rosenberg, 2006). Introduction of Electronic Journal in Tanzania The historical background of the introduction of scholarly electronic journals and databases to scholars in academic institutions in Tanzania is divided into two phases. The first phase took place in the early 1990's when the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) introduced the use of CD-ROM facilities to its users. This phase was heralded as the first innovative programme toward the adoption of electronic library resources (Manda, 2005). The second phase took place in the late 1990's and it was mainly facilitated by the advent of the internet and WWW in most academic institutions in Tanzania. The introduction of internet and WWW was a significant leap toward access to full-text electronic journals among researchers and scholars in Tanzania. In 2001, International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications (INASP) through its (PERI), which is also a multi-disciplinary initiative, became the first far-reaching attempt to introduce the use of full-text electronic journals and databases in research and academic institutions in Tanzania. …" @default.
