English abstract

Library consortia or buying clubs development is rooted in the history of library cooperative efforts and is now also driven by the need to provide remote users with licensed access to electronic resources that too very economically by sharing subscription cost. Consortia are formed with an objective to enhance the purchasing power of the participating libraries in the present scenario of major financial crunch and escalating cost of the resources in electronic form. By utilizing the support of the regional & national level networking, libraries in India can work cooperatively towards establishing library consortia for offering and sharing electronic resources. Establishment of better consortium for integrating intellectual access will be a remarkable step in moving towards the electronic libraries.
