Abstract:	The AAU/ARL (Association of American Universities/Association of Research Libraries) Global Resources Program was launched early in 1997 by the Association of Research Libraries, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Reviews the development of the related projects that preceded the establishment of the AAU/ARL Global Resources Program, describing the context for its creation and the goals it aspires to fulfil, and identifies some of the challenges the Program faces on the path to full implementation. It is hoped that the AAU/ARL Global Resources Program will encourage us to develop true international collaboration, branching out from accomplishments thus far, as the Program itself built on the efforts that preceded it.
