This two day-long session, coordinated by NELINET, and co-sponsored by the
General Research Libraries and Management and Technology Divisions of IFLA,
and the International Coalition of Library Consortia (ICOLC), will bring together
international librarians to explore global developments in library consortia. You
will not only be able to explore the best ideas from experts to help you determine
the most appropriate strategies for your consortium, but also participate in a
worldwide discussion on management issues vital to the delivery of efficient and
cost-effective library consortium services.
An international audience is anticipated and the conference will provide an
excellent preliminary to the papers and exhibition to follow at the main
conference. English is the language of the preconference presentations.
The preconference will be of interest to consortium managers, practicing librarians
actively engaged or interested in the development of library consortia, consortium
directors, library directors, library practitioners, information industry
professionals, academics, and purchasers of electronic information and other
consortial services.
