Library Technology Consortia: Case Studies in Design and Cooperation

by Jerry Kuntz (Editor)

The development of networking technology has gone hand in hand with trends for resource sharing among libraries. Strategies to share materials, research, and technology have given rise to technology-based consortia in the library community. This volume introduces models and case studies of groups of libraries and library systems using technology to better their patron services. Technical questions, administrative issues, and relations between groups of libraries and academic computing organizations, are among the many issues addressed by a variety of librarians from a range of different computing environments.
