Abstract
The increasing price of electronic journals, indexing and abstracting databases along with the traditional pub- lished print subscriptions has forced library community to explore alternative means of subscription. The emergence of library a very promising development in this direction. The Phenomenon of consortia or group of libraries maintaining in- formation resources together has become very common these days, In India, during last few years we witnessed many con- sortia based subscription. When library consortiums are formed, the existing environment about users' preferences and dif- ficulties need to be studied. Initiating such studies would enable to incorporate the findings as the major input in consortium formation. A questionnaire based survey found that 94.40% of the science faculty members were aware about the UGC-Infonet Digital Library Consortium whereas only 86.99% of social science faculty members were aware about the availability of UGC-Infonet Digital Library Consortium. The study reveals that most of the respondents 75.35 % use the UGC-Infonet resources for the purpose of research work.
