| Abstract: | Resource sharing
amongst libraries is a good old practice that is aimed at overcoming budgetary
constraints. The new millennium saw quite a few number of Library Consortia
established in the country, NKRC of CSIR and INDEST being the most successful
of them. After taking in to consideration the experiences of these and other
Library Consortia that are successfully serving their users, DRDO E-Journals
Consortium was established by DESIDOC in the year 2009 with 7 core publishers.
This paper briefly discusses the genesis of the DRDO Consortium, its services,
budgetary provisions, services offered, and efforts made by DESIDOC to enhance
the use of e-resources across the Organisation. An analytical study of the
usage of e-resources by the DRDO
scientific community was also made and the inferences were listed. Overall the
Consortium has been perceived as a major facilitator in providing required
information within least possible time. |
