Resource sharing is a concept which includes many cooperative activities between libraries and other information centers. Advent of Information Technology (IT) and Information Communication Technology (ICT) have opened up new opportunities for greater cooperation. The emerging Information Technologies have brought many changes in libraries. These technologies have facilitated Library and Information Science professionals to work together to acquire and share library collection and provide digital library services to the user community. Increase of the literature in all subjects and shrinking of the library budget made the libraries depend upon each other. This leads to library cooperation, resource sharing and networking. Consortia approach is one of the many ways of maintaining cooperation and coordination among the libraries and in fact it has emerged as the ‘state of the art’ in library cooperation in recent years. Document resources sharing is the basis of modem document services, and also the working target of the document workers and the key point is the development of digital resources. The purpose of digital resources development is to use and share library information resources effectively.
