Answer 2

Answer:

With special reference to university libraries, resource sharing means to collaborate with libraries to maximize the access to more resources by sharing the collections of the "cooperating libraries" or by pooling funding for purchasing shared digital resources.

The different types of resources sharing include the bilateral exchange (exchange of materials between two libraries), the pooling (two or more libraries draw from a pool of materials), the dual service (two or more libraries taking advantage of the facilities of one of the participating libraries & produce a common output) and the service centre (libraries provide the opportunity to participants to input their process materials for individual purpose rather than producing a common output) models.
