In developing countries most libraries, including academic libraries face financial and resource constraints in building up adequate collections of information sources and therefore are not able to fully satisfy the information needs of the various categories of users. In this context the main task of a librarian is to adjust the input resources to the desired output by adopting various alternatives for taking effective decisions and providing services to users. One strategy is resource sharing in a networking system. This has been practised since the 1930s in developed countries. In recent years libraries in India have focused on interlibrary loan, shared cataloguing, online references, shared circulation and online Due to the high cost of serials, academic library networks in a consortia mode offer subscriptions to more journals to the participating libraries at a relatively lower cost. This paper discusses three models of networking and network design for engineering college libraries in Tamil Nadu (TECLIBNET).

Abstract


In developing countries most libraries, including academic libraries face financial and resource constraints in building up adequate collections of information sources and therefore are not able to fully satisfy the information needs of the various categories of users. In this context the main task of a librarian is to adjust the input resources to the desired output by adopting various alternatives for taking effective decisions and providing services to users. One strategy is resource sharing in a networking system. This has been practised since the 1930s in developed countries. In recent years libraries in India have focused on interlibrary loan, shared cataloguing, online references, shared circulation and online Due to the high cost of serials, academic library networks in a consortia mode offer subscriptions to more journals to the participating libraries at a relatively lower cost. This paper discusses three models of networking and network design for engineering college libraries in Tamil Nadu (TECLIBNET).
