Abstract
In the recent years, the libraries need to focus their attention towards
developing electronic documents selectively and access to electronic
information sources using network facilities. Selection of electronic sources
for collection development activities is to be done based on certain criteria
i.e. reputation of authors. publishers and products, context. format features,
access methods, storage and licensing agreements. The author provides
strategies for libraries to get into networks and resource sharing trends. The
present era is more conducive to the resource sharing and use of financial
resources effectively. The concept of ownership need to be replaced with
sharing the resources for mutual benefit.
