in libraries. This paper discusses the status of consortia in India and
portrays the challenges of e-resources access and describes how the changing
landscape of libraries, information products offered by publishers and
emergence of e-learning environment is influencing consortia. The article
concludes that we need to focus on more effective consortia models for just in
place delivery of content for greater user convenience. In order to enhance
their usage, the consortia resources must be in alignment with institutional
thrust areas of work and users’ information requirements for work performance. |
