This research work was carried out to know the perception of students of Virtual University regarding the use of ebrary in their academic activities. The study also focused about the usage and practices of ebrary of VU students in four different programs.

The research was limited to the students of four programs of Virtual University of Pakistan, including Mathematics, Education, Business Administration and Computer Science.
