Abstract

This chapter discusses the different aspects of cooperation and collaboration initiatives for libraries that includes associated opportunities, issues, and challenges. A proposed model for library consortia is depicted to illustrate the benefits that can help institutes to overcome these issues and challenges faced by the libraries for smooth functioning. The proposed cross-resource sharing model may provide an appropriate platform for both institutes and publishers that can enhance the library cooperation and collaboration in a much more effective way by overcoming the fund issues and to enable a suitable platform in improvising the library services. By achieving a successful and appropriate library consortia model, the cooperation and collaboration initiatives for the libraries gives an effective result and better services to its users.
