Library Consortium: A Look through CSIR’s NEIST

Abstract

Library consortium brings together library professionals and libraries for activities and objectives that cannot be effectively undertaken individually. Consortium is a collection of mass resources which produces good results at least average cost. It is a cooperative programme which gives clarity of purpose and competitive advantage by sharing of library resources and programs with mutually supportive missions. This paper tries to present an overview of library consortium on NEIST (North East Institute of Science and Technology), which is one of the CSIR’s (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research) institutions.
