As the acceptance and popularity of e-resources increases day by day, the number of e-journals and the on the databases that the faculty and students of management and allied subjects want to access is increasing geometrically. Though libraries have considerable e-resources presently in their collection, it is not sufficient to meet the growing needs of the users. In such a scenario, a solution that ensures access to a wider array of online databases at a much lesser cost is through consortium of libraries. Hence, more and more specialist libraries are opting for it.
This study based on a survey of select libraries examines in some detail the availability of e-resources, their utilization at the management institute libraries affiliated to the University of Mumbai, Mumbai. Further it also studies the librarians' opinion about formation of Mumbai Management Libraries Consortia.
