The Delhi Library Network (DELNET) was established in 1988 with the objective of promoting resource sharing among libraries through compiling union catalogs of resources and collecting catalogs and databases. DELNET coordinates with other networks and libraries to exchange information, provides technical guidance and services to member libraries, and maintains a central online union catalog. DELNET currently has over 5000 member libraries and offers services like access to catalogs and databases, document delivery, professional training, and software development.
DELNET with passage of time and technological advancements not only widened its scope but has crossed the geographical boundaries. Presently, it is the major resource sharing library network in India connecting more than 5,900 libraries in 23 States and Union Territories in India and eight other countries.
The main objectives of DELNET is to promote resource sharing among the member-libraries by collecting, storing and disseminating information and by providing networked services to the researchers and scholars to supplement their research activity

Next Steps for IMLS's National Digital PlatformTrevor Owens
This keynote, at the Upper Midwest Digital Collections Conference, provides and update on the National Digital Platform and 20 projects supported to enhance it. The national digital platform is a way of thinking about and approaching the digital capability and capacity of libraries across the US. In this sense, it is the combination of software applications, social and technical infrastructure, and staff expertise that provide library content and services to all users in the US. As libraries increasingly use digital infrastructure to provide access to digital content and resources, there are more and more opportunities for collaboration around the tools and services that they use to meet their users’ needs. It is possible for each library in the country to leverage and benefit from the work of other libraries in shared digital services, systems, and infrastructure.
We need to bridge gaps between disparate pieces of the existing digital infrastructure, for increased efficiencies, cost savings, access, and services. To this end, IMLS is focusing on the national digital platform as an area of priority in the National Leadership Grants to Libraries program and the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian program. We are eager to explore how this way of thinking and approaching infrastructure development can help states make the best use of the funds they receive through the Grants to States program. We’re also eager to work with other foundations and funders to maximize the impact of our federal investment

He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
