The present approach towards partnership, networking, consortia and resource sharing adopted by libraries need radical changes to evolve responsive partnerships in order to achieve best performance in service. Cooperation amongst institutions for sharing their library resources is being practiced for decades. The proliferation of electronic resources in the networked society has resulted in the development of "shared subscription" or "consortia-based subscription" to journals everywhere in the world. Shared-subscription to electronic resources through consortia of libraries is a feasible strategy to meet the pressures such as diminishing budget, increased user’s demand and rising cost of journals.
