Abstract
In school libraries e-resources have become virtually very important. The literature suggests that there is no formal collaboration between teachers and librarians in the course of the acquiring, proposing, and utilising of e-resources. However, in developing countries this formal collaboration is suffering from many limitations. This study proposes an e-collaboration tool which allows collaboration between teachers and librarians to link e-resources with the curriculum and to support the educational process in the e-learning environment. The study methodology uses mixed methods. This study was carried out at Al-Bayan Model Girls’ School, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The study findings showed that 98.3% of students were using the tool in the classroom, 96.6% of them were using the tool independently, and 16.4% of the students were proposing an additional 2.7% of e-resources. This indicated that there was good usage of the tool to provide opportunities to fulfil students’ needs with less time and effort.
