Abstract:
The key concepts open access, open source and open standards are playing a great role today
when we talk about borderless libraries. Immense benefits and importance to libraries are being
examined. Greater benefits include lowering of cost, greater accessibility and better prospects especially
for long term preservation of scholarly works. The paper mainly discuses on the importance
and utility of the three concepts i.e. open access, open source and open standards in libraries
emerging, which has helped to widened the gap in resource sharing, making it accessible in a far
better way, limiting the expenses and above all standardizing which helps different systems to share
their resources.
