Like many libraries, Seton Hall University Libraries has suffered budget cuts that forced a reduction in serial subscriptions. As science librarian, I report on my efforts to streamline subscriptions and to address the question "Why are science journals so expensive?" Our science journals are significantly more expensive than journals in other areas. Our commercially published science journals are 25% more expensive than those from non-profit publishers, although the difference is not statistically significant. I discuss the reasons for the high cost of science journals, which involve a complex interaction between supply and demand and academic culture.3

“…As more content is now available digitally online, libraries are faced with the option of buying content directly from the publisher. For clients, speed of delivery is a key expectation of resource sharing services (Walton 2008). In some instances, outright purchase may be the only option available to libraries to fulfil a request in a timely manner or fulfil it at all.…”

In 2011 the University of Wollongong Library undertook a significant review of its Resource Sharing services. This was prompted by constraints in the systems supporting this service, changes to the Library's key suppliers, Infotrieve Australia and the British Library Document Supply Service, and the need to deliver effective library services within a defined physical and budgetary environment. As a result of the review, the existing Millennium Interlibrary Loan and Ariel software hosting the service were replaced by the Relais ILL system. The most cost-effective and relevant methods for supporting the research needs of the university were achieved through subscriptions with networks characterized by strong unmediated requesting functionalities, including ArticleReach, BONUS+, and RapidILL. To expand the Library's access to international collections, a subscription to OCLC WorldCat Resource Sharing was begun. UOW Library now processes approximately 50% more requests, 76% of which are now processed to some degree without library staff mediation.

“…increased 26% from 1998 to 2004. Walton (2008) [12] explained that the convenience of electronic resources did change the users' information behavior and that they prefer accessibility over resource quality. Meanwhile, the growth of open access resources also reduces the number of requests for ILL. Jackson (2000) [13] pointed out that users will not request in-print materials or common books owned by other libraries; rather, they would request old or special materials.…”

In modem society, information resources have become important strategic resources for our survival and development. Sharing information resources is a common aspiration.

The purpose of digital resources development is to use and share library information resources effectively, and ultimately fulfill the Southeast Asia and global sharing. It is impossible for any single library, region or country to achieve the digital resources development alone, but to make libraries in various trades and industries and of the whole world play their roles to carry out the development and sharing. This paper discusses the necessity, feasibility and benefits, of developing and sharing Asian library digital document resources, analyses the significance of library digital document resources development and sharing, puts forward some suggestions on ways of Asian library digital document resources sharing in the network environment.
