Abstract
The dramatic price increases in journals subscriptions over the past 30 years have undermined the ability of academic libraries to sustain their collections development at the level necessary to support educational and research activities in the institutes they serve. The article describes the foundation of a consortium in order to go some way towards alleviating the problem. Statistics of the use of HEAL‐Link are given.
