CHOWDHURY (Mohammad Fazlul Quader) & HANIF UDDIN (Mohammad). Resource Sharing and Networking among the Agricultural Libraries and Information Centres in Bangladesh and India. 25,2;2000;138-50
Agricultural information is vital for the development of a country, Resource sharing/networking would help smooth library management and enrich resources and provide better services to the library users. Economy of our country mainly depends on agriculture and agricultural production depends on research. For research needs relevant information is needed timely. But we have limited resources. So, we can utilize its optimum use by adopting resource sharing and networking system. Cost of Library materials like books and journals are increasing gradually but with limited budget libraries can't keep pace with this price hike. Information is generated enormously. To keep pace with all these, we need resource sharing and networking among the related group of libraries for efficient library services, save foreign currency and enhance inter-library cooperation system to develop a prosperous nation.
