There are two protocol of Resource
sharing are following;
Conventional

4. Conventional Protocol of RS

In this Protocol, RS of traditional printed
materials is practiced. Two or more
participating libraries issue their
catalogues and union lists of periodicals
with archival holdings. The participating
libraries also publish union lists. On the
basis of these lists of holdings, they
share their resources through interlibrary
loan (ILL) arrangements.

6. Advanced (Automated) Protocol of RS
WWW:
The World Wide Web is a system of
interlinked hypertext documents accessed via
the Internet. With a web browser, one can view web
pages that may contain text, images, videos, and
other multimedia and navigate between them via
hyperlinks.
OPAC:
An online public access catalog is an online
database of materials held by a library or group of
libraries. Users search a library catalog principally to
locate books and other material available at a library.

Electronic Format:
 An electronic format is any electronic media content
that are intended to be used in either an electronic
form or as printed output.
E-mail:
 E-mail is a method of exchanging digital messages
from an author to one or more recipients. Modern
email operates across the Internet or other computer
networks.
MARC:
 MARC standards are a set of digital formats for the
description of items catalogued by libraries, such as
books.

8. Advanced (Automated) Protocol of RS
Z39.50 :
 Z39.50 is a client–server protocol for searching and
retrieving information from remote computer databases.
The standard's maintenance agency is the Library of
Congress.
 Z39.50 is widely used in library environments and is often
incorporated into integrated library systems and
personal bibliographic reference software. Interlibrary
catalogue searches for interlibrary loan are often
implemented with Z39.50 queries.
Digital Library:
 An electronic library is a library in which collections are
stored in electronic media formats and accessible via
computers. The electronic content may be stored locally,
or accessed remotely via computer networks.

9. Conclusion

RS network protocol is an effective tool
towards providing extensive access with
limited financial resources. Users’ demands
and expectations have also arisen with the
speedy growth of knowledge resources.
Because of budgetary cuts, libraries are
unable to purchase the needed material, so
they should aim for mutual network. At
present, professionals are sharing their library
resources as a professional and personal
courtesy. There is a dire need for mutual
formal cooperative programmes at different
levels.
