Abstract

Library Consortia or Consortium is now being overheard globally; it is more because of e-publishing. Consortia are all about sharing resources and improving access to information. These resources are shared among libraries that have common missions, goals and clients (users) and act on those commonalties. Before we are sharing own library resources through inter library loan, but in this Information communication technology (ICT) age it has gained momentum even in the developing countries. In this paper authors proposed a prototype consortia model for libraries in Puducherry region and discussed the ICT infrastructure required for consortia participation. 

Keywords: Library consortium; NKN; NMEICT; Puducherry.
