Dear Sri Kutty Kumar,

Formal tie -up depends upon fulfilling of mutual requirements, Collaborative Activities and stuff like that. If your College/Institution/University has to make tie-up with foreign institutions and your Library resources play a formidable role, then only there are possibilities. Fortunately, I have worked in two institutes (my previous and the present) where it was possible to establish a resource exchange activities (including human resources) with two foreign institutions. 

For instance, if your institution is a college offering UG degree courses (B.A/B.Sc./B.Com) want to tie up with say, UCLA, how do you expect to serve their purpose? I mean to say what sort of services you can extend from your Library to theirs which are not available to them? and what sort of cooperation you expect from them in exchange? and why do you feel that they will be interested to tie-up with your library. I understand that they are sort of bitter questions but these are the relevant issues for establish tie-ups. If you kindly clarify them, then, certainly I shall discuss further about possibilities of tie-ups in details.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
