The consortium proposes the opportunity for offering access to larger and broadens range of publications to the users than most libraries presently offer to their users. Various academic libraries have to decrease their subscription of journals, books and databases due to rising cost of scholarly publications, and this is extremely affecting research and development activities of academics. In such situation, subscription of journals and resources through consortium is the ideal solution for all academic libraries. This study is mainly concerned to pharmaceutical science academic institutes in the state of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Goa, which are the states of western India and their status of libraries for their present situation by providing required information to their users, satisfaction by getting information resources and their limitations in providing demanded information because no library or resource centre of the world is self-sufficient to meet the various information needs of the users. For this purpose, the study suggests the model for particular pharmaceutical science academic institutes’ library consortium. |
