Utilization of library e-services are a major concern, especially among practitioners. The emergence of Novel Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) has increased the dependency towards library e-services, such as online databases, electronic books, electronic journals, etc. Moreover, the movement control order (MCO), as well as the rising cases of COVID-19, has shifted the library, as well as librarian responsibility towards the online delivery of services. In the meantime, students rely heavily on library e-services to complete their works. However, not much is known regarding the utilization level of library e-services in the aftermath of COVID-19, especially regarding the perceived barriers.
