English abstract

This paper critically examines the prevalent situations that have been leading to resource sharing; primarily emanated from library cooperatives, interlibrary loan, buying clubs; subsequently changed to utility services, site licensing, and ultimately the Consortium – an emerging toolkit for libraries to survive. The strategic alliances amongst libraries and the growth of library consortia have been discussed. The implications of different consortia models to the Indian libraries are explained; which suggests a sustainable consortia organization among potential partners. The paper also attempts to provide an insight into how consortia strategies can overcome an unending fiscal constraint, and to sustain the buying power in collection development for better access to greater resources.
