Access to databases: consortial style

Abstract

Cooperative library projects are a must in today's economic havoc. The strength of cooperative bargaining can impact what a consortium is able to accomplish for its membership, stretching member libraries' limited budgets, but the evaluative process is key in making satisfactory decisions. Careful evaluations and a clear perspective of what will satisfy the majority are key components to a successful process. This is one consortium's recent experience with the process and how they have currently solved a number of issues.
