The explosion of information has led to the rapid development of literature in each subject, making it practically impossible for any library to fully meet the needs of users by becoming selfsufficient. Due to rising reader demands and declining level of financial resources, no library is able to get all the material on readers’ demand. Resource sharing is a method of crossing these and other boundaries of individual libraries with respect to their resources through collaboration and coordination between other libraries. }, }
