E-Resources

What is an e-resource?

E-Resource is short for 'electronic resource'. They are digital collections of information that CHS subscribe to. The information in them is not usually available on the general web. They are put together and published by dedicated research companies who make sure all of the information on them is useful, accurate and legitimate.
