Abstract: Adequate accessibility and usage of electronic resources (e-resources) support and transform pedagogical process; although incorporation of e-resources in education has not reached optimum level. 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. Based on the findings the study recommended that Ministry of Education (MOE) should provide adequate e-resources for use in schools; MOE in conjunction with Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) should provide capacity building programmes on e-resources use regularly to teachers and school librarians. The study provided additional information in formulating policies which enhance use of e-resources in learning process. It also provided opportunities to teachers and learners to use e-resources in the curriculum adequately.
