The purpose of the study was to assess accessibility and usage of e-resources in learning of English Language in public secondary schools in Kakamega County, Kenya. The study found out that e-resources were inadequately accessed and used in learning of English Language due to insufficient: computer/internet skills, e-resource infrastructure and awareness of e-libraries programmes use in the curriculum.
