Abstract

Doctors and biomedical researchers in USA are able to access information on 16,000 biomedical journals through their desk top microcomputers. Nuclear scientists in India can have access to literature available in more than 100 institutions spread around the world. Two thousand libraries in USA and outside are connected through online terminals for cooperative cataloguing, acquisition of documents and related information activities. The philosophy behind such developments is sharing resources and working together for the common goal, namely improving access to information.
