Study of E-resources of Indian institute of management (IIM) librariesin India

Abstract

This paper focuses on the study of e-resources in the libraries of institutes of management in India. The main objective is to determine the availability of different types of e-resources, viz., subscribed e-resources through consortium, memberships of library networks and collaboration with libraries. Based upon the findings, some suggestions for strengthening the services pertaining to e-resources have been given. A resource sharing model has been proposed which promises the maximum availability of e-resources and also increases their reach and access.
