Libraries which are store houses of knowledge and information, and information centres which disseminate knowledge and information, form two important components of present day society. While there is a deluge of information on one hand, the cost of collecting, processing, storing and disseminating information as been spiralling up on the other hand. Because of this, resource sharing and cooperative functioning through networking have become inescapable for libraries and information centres worldwide. Efficient resource sharing can be achieved by using the recent advances in information technology for realising a network of libraries.

This book considers the changing face of resource sharing within the context of a rapidly exploding information landscape, and it investigates critical dimensions of network developments as they relate to access and delivery of data and documents in multiple media. It helps readers understand the escalating changes which are irrevocably altering their professional environment and information access choices. It will be a stimulating guide for practising librarians, students of library science and network staff.
