Abstract:
In this article, we tried to show that through library cooperation with resource sharing, special libraries can create an environment where they can give all kinds of information to their researchers and users by providing better services and more material at low-cost. 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 readersâ€™ 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.
