Abstract
This study was carried out to assess the usage of c-journals amongst education lecturers at a public university in Malaysia. A total of 55 education lecturers participated in the study by completing a self-developed questionnaire to answer the following questions: (1) What are the challenges or constraints that they faced in using e-journals? and (2) What are their suggestions which would improve the use of e-joumals for academic purposes? The major findings revealed a "neutral" perception amongst the education lecturers on the challenges that they fined in using e-joumals; although they were challenges none were too detrimental towards the usage of e-joumals.
