Abstract
The terms ‘Network’ and ‘Resource’ have a wide range of importance in our day-to-day life. Resource Sharing and Information Networking are the two important elements in a modern knowledge society. In India, many library networks are already established, like INFLIBNET, DELNET, KALIBNET etc. Library networks have a greater role in resource sharing through information networks. Normally, this follows a network of libraries with de-centralization rules & regulations and provides a common platform for libraries and library staff to come together, communicate, and extend help to enhance access to information and fulfil the unexpected demands of users [3]. This article discusses the extension of the current KALNET Consortium, sharing of bibliographical information of print resources to the sharing of e-Resources which include e-journals, e-books, e-databases etc. for the benefit of the students in the Higher Educational Institutions of Kerala. This article suggests that extension of KALNET cooperation to e-resources through INFED to enhance access to information resources to a wide area of users and for speedy document delivery.
