About the International Coalition of Library Consortia:
The International Coalition of Library Consortia (ICOLC) first met as
the Consortium of Consortia (COC) in 1997. The Coalition is an informal
group comprising about sixty library consortia in North America, the
United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, and Australia. The Coalition
serves primarily higher education institutions by facilitating
discussion among consortia on issues of common interest. Throughout the
year, ICOLC
conducts meetings dedicated to keeping its members informed about new
electronic information resources, pricing practices of electronic
providers and vendors, and other issues of importance to directors and
governing boards of consortia. The Coalition meets with members of the
information provider community to provide a forum for those providers to
discuss their offerings and to engage in dialog with Coalition members
about issues of mutual concern.
The ICOLC welcomes your interest, comments, and participation from
additional academic library consortia around the world. The Statement
of Current Perspective is intended to engage electronic information
providers in a dialogue with the consortial library community.
