Document resources sharing is the basis of modem interlibrary loan or document delivery arrangements, users document services, and also the working target of the document workers and the key point is the development of digital can borrow from (or access materials at) other libraries when resources. The purpose of digital resources development is to the needed materials are not available at the local library. use and share library information resources effectively, and Chrzastowski and Anthes (1995) [2] indicated that document ultimately fulfill the Southeast Asia and global sharing. It is delivery services could bridge the gaps caused by print impossible for any single library, region or country to achieve journal cancelation.

This explains why collection that is sufficiently comprehensive to satisfy all of countries around the world are putting efforts to build the its users' requests. By joining cooperative acquisition or digital libraries for users to have easy access to information collection development programs, libraries provide their they need. However, it is almost impossible for a single users greater range of library materials or better depth of library to collect and provide overflowing knowledge and subject coverage (Evans & Saponaro, 2005) [7]. information to users so domestic and overseas libraries Interlibrary loan (ILL) services facilitate the sharing of should cooperate together.
