Abstract
Electronic publications and the networking technologies enable the academic
libraries to overcome various information problems and to access and provide
relevant information to the users. The electronic media like CD-ROM, Online
databases, electronic journals and newsletters, multimedia packages, Email
and fax media, teletext and videotext etc. play significant roles in
collection development activities in the academic libraries. The author
describes how these electronic media can be accessed through the INTERNET
and establish resource sharing facilities among the libraries and information
centres of various countries in the world. The emphasis in the libraries have
been shifted from collections of books and journals to the networked
information services provided through modern technologies like CD-ROM
networks and INTERNET. For collection development activities, the libraries
are required to adopt these technologies.
