HSLIBNET – the Resource Sharing Consortium for Learning Materials.

HSLIBNET is a networking concept. It stands for Health Sciences Library Network of Punjab State.

The University realizes that scholarly and professional information resources like journals and books are expensive and hence building a comprehensive collection at every college was unaffordable besides leading to undesirable duplication. The solution had to come from networking the libraries in all the colleges under the university and the consciously promoting a culture of co-operative procurement and resource sharing. HSLIBNET – Health Sciences Library Network is conceive as the consortium of all the teaching and research institutions affiliated to the university to pursue this need for networking and resource sharing. Journals and books are the most expensive part of learning resources with committed annual expenditure.
