>>>> ABSTRACT: Library consortia have a decades-long history, but with the
>>>> advent of Web-based information, the numbers have grown rapidly as
>>>> libraries have joined together to license and utilize electronic
>>>> resources. The talk will review briefly the history and profile of
>>>> such consortia, which vary enormously in size, funding, and mandate/
>>>> mission. The results of a survey of International Coalition of
>>>> Library Consortia (ICOLC) members' statements about current and new
>>>> directions will be reported.

>>>> group of 27 large and over 50 smaller libraries negotiating for
>>>> electronic information and engaging in other cooperative activities.
