Library cooperation refers to the sharing of resources between two or more libraries. It allows for a more comprehensive collection, avoids duplication, and reduces costs. Areas of cooperation include inter-library loans, cooperative acquisitions, cataloging, and more. Barriers to cooperation include inadequate funding, outdated technology, lack of standards, and reluctance to participate. However, the future of library cooperation involves sharing expertise and people to take advantage of current opportunities for sharing resources.
This document provides background information on library consortia, including a brief history and overview of their advantages and disadvantages.

Competition for Library Services
Larry Nash White, East Carolina University
In today’s information service economy, information users and customers have choices like never before as to where they obtain their information. Information seekers can literally obtain information from any where in the global market place, so the library’s service environment is experiencing increased competition for customers like they never have before. To complicate the situation further, the service environment of libraries is becoming more competitive at a time when resources to operate libraries are becoming more difficult to obtain.
In order to strategically respond to these challenges, today’s libraries need to show evidence of understanding the global market place. In order to do that, they need to compete for customers, resources and community connections in innovative and strategic relationships with stakeholders. The library workplace has to have cultures and processes that support continuous innovation and entrepreneurial development or services and their delivery processes. Library leaders need to demonstrate visionary leadership that incorporates both “high touch” and “high tech” in allowing the library customer to shape and control their library experience to best meet their information needs.
The presentation will review the competitors and how they are competing in the information service economy and how libraries are responding to this challenge. Examples of competitors, competitive practices, and research of library response to increasing competition will be presented. Environmental scanning, survey data, and real life examples will be used to present a picture of the current competition of the library service environment and whether libraries are demonstrating evidence of understanding the global market place.
Dr. White is an Assistant Professor and Co-Interim Chair of the Department of Library Science at East Carolina University.
1. The document discusses core principles and best practices for library collection development, including focusing on patron needs, serving all patrons, and using evidence-based practices.
2. Key approaches covered include investigating patron needs through data analysis and input, balancing individual and collective needs within budget constraints, and determining what materials to collect based on criteria like price, quality, and availability elsewhere.
3. Best practices highlighted are maintaining a collection development policy, having processes for recommending and reconsidering materials, consulting experts, outsourcing, and distinguishing between public and school library collections which serve different user groups and purposes.
The document summarizes a presentation given by Karen Calhoun at NALIS Forum in Sofia, Bulgaria on September 24, 2010. The presentation discussed the changing nature of libraries and information seeking, and opportunities for increased cooperation and integration among libraries. Key points included the dominance of search engines for information finding, the potential to make library collections more visible and discoverable online, and opportunities to share and syndicate metadata across institutions to improve discovery of resources.
The document discusses the vision and plans for creating a Global Library that would provide a virtual network of digital collections for print disabled persons worldwide. The Global Library would [1] allow authorized users to discover and access library materials in alternative formats from collaborating libraries internationally, [2] increase the number of accessible titles available, and [3] help participating libraries know what others are producing. A consortium model is proposed to govern the Global Library with support from member libraries and potential partners like Google and Bookshare. Further steps include finalizing requirements, governance, and cataloguing standards to pilot the project.

Mainstreaming open: how can libraries transition their culture, services and ...JoannaBall4
This document discusses how libraries can transition to supporting more open content and practices. It identifies several key areas for libraries to address:
1) Cultural change is needed within libraries to fully integrate support for open content across all teams and processes rather than it being an "add-on."
2) Libraries need to develop new collection strategies that prioritize and measure the value of open content to prepare for its increasing role in the future.
3) A sector-wide approach through coordinating bodies may be most effective for libraries to collectively address challenges like developing infrastructure to support the full open access publishing and supply chain.
The document summarizes the chapters and key discussions from a strategy group focusing on challenges facing Nordic public libraries.

The document discusses rethinking resource sharing in academic libraries. It summarizes the Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative, which advocates for user-centered resource sharing given changes in technology. The initiative encourages discussing seven principles for expanded sharing between libraries. The presenter discusses using a STAR checklist to evaluate a library's resource sharing policies and procedures. She describes how her library staff discussed the checklist to identify priorities and advocate for needs. The presenter also discusses current resource sharing within the Association of Christian Librarians and ideas to improve sharing, especially for non-OCLC libraries.
This document discusses the selection of materials for school library collections. It defines selection as maintaining a balanced collection by adding new materials and removing outdated ones. There are three basic selection philosophies: liberal, traditional, and pluralistic. A selection policy guides the process, outlining the scope, criteria, and procedures for adding and removing items. Selection responsibility typically falls to library media specialists. General criteria include subject coverage, demand, quality and balance. Selection tools that aid the process include review sources, bibliographies, and recommended lists. The goal is to select materials that meet community needs and support the school's educational goals.
The document discusses the roles that librarians can play in supporting open educational resources (OER). It describes how librarians can exercise both existing roles like selecting and describing resources as well as new opportunities such as contributing their own OERs, advocating for OER adoption, and supporting authors. The document also notes that librarians can leverage traditional strengths like addressing accessibility issues, collaborating across institutions, and ensuring resources have useful metadata and functionality for students.
1. Libraries need a strategic plan to guide their future and ensure their survival and growth. The director needs to educate trustees and staff, conduct research, and draft the plan with goals, strategies, and budgets. Trustees establish the planning process and support community involvement.
2. Developing a strategic plan involves gathering information from stakeholders, creating a vision and mission statement, setting goals and strategies, and outlining budgets, timelines, and evaluations.
3. Regular monitoring and evaluation of the strategic plan allows the library to check progress towards goals and make adjustments based on changes in priorities or resources.
OCLC fringe: The costs of "open" - preliminary results from a global OCLC survey led by Merrilee Proffitt, Senior Manager, OCLC Research.
Despite growing support for Open Science, Open Access, and Open Government Information, measures of impact, investment, and cost for libraries and research organisations remain largely unknown. In order to better understand this landscape, OCLC conducted a survey in 2018 that focused on libraries’ ambitions, realities, and investments in support of open content. This survey represents a significant early effort to qualify and quantify library efforts in the field of open content at an international scale, and it collected data on library open content activities across multiple internal silos, including: e-resources management, institutional repositories, CRIS systems, digitised heritage collections, data archives, born-digital (legal) deposit, and more. The survey received more than 700 responses from 82 countries, with 72 percent of the responses coming from research and library institutions, providing a rich sample.
In this presentation, OCLC examines definitions of “open” and shares preliminary findings on library investments, assessments and planning, leading participants in a discussion about the implications for our global and connected future, as well as opportunities for collective action.
Open access for the inaugural @OpenResLDN meeting 2015 01 19Chris Banks
Slides that I will speak to at the inaugural meeting of OpenResLDN on 19th January 2015. January 2015 sees the 350th anniversary of the first ever journal publication - the Journal des Savants. We are now in the 21st year of the Open Access movement and the UK and European policies are really beginning to drive change and innovation. That change is not fast enough for some, and for others - particularly those covered by the policies, or seeking to implement policy - just a little too fast sometimes.
The document discusses partnership and collaboration, highlighting that they are at the core of CILIP's mission and activities. It provides examples of both successful and unsuccessful collaborative projects between CILIP and other organizations. Key lessons learned are to establish shared values and goals, build relationships through open communication, and have clear expectations and exit strategies for partnerships. The document emphasizes that collaboration, like relationships, requires nurturing to succeed.
The document summarizes consultations held by the Literacy & Lifelong Working Group with various Saskatchewan public libraries on defining the role of libraries in supporting literacy and lifelong learning. The consultations included workshops with branch staff and trustees from several regional libraries. Ideas generated included expanding programming for different age groups, partnering with community organizations, and addressing barriers like space limitations. The discussions supported an expanded view of literacy and an active community engagement role for libraries. Next steps may include strategic planning, developing a literacy support position, and considering policy and funding implications.
The document discusses the need for libraries to undergo transformation in order to thrive in a changing economic environment. It outlines 9 characteristics of a transformed library, including becoming a place for knowledge production, focusing collections on digital formats, and providing services to users from the desktop. The document also provides recommendations for how libraries can transform, such as increasing collaboration, reallocating resources from print to digital, and developing new performance measures.

● Defining “Collective Collections”
○ 25 representatives from: 2 committees, Board Members, and guests, with Roger Schonfeld,
Ithaka S+R as Outside Advisor
● Examine our environment and diverse library needs
● Identify successes and challenges
● Articulate shared values
● Begin prioritizing strategic shared collections activities over the next 3-5 years
○ Proposal for a new PALCI eBooks Strategy
9. Shared Collections Values
PALCI Members believe in....
1. Trust as the foundation of our collaboration, working on each
other’s behalf with
a. candor,
b. open debate,
c. good faith, and
d. the consortium’s best interests.
2. Engaging and investing purposefully in the shared success of the collective, robust sharing of our
resources of all types, and the deepest collaboration possible.
3. Honoring and leveraging the diversity of our PALCI Community, with 68 institutions characterized
by differences in institutional size, mission, demographics, expertise, collections, programs, and
approaches, while acting in our collective best interest.
4. Innovating and creating for our greater good, made possible by sharing risk.
10. The Proposal:
A New PALCI eBooks Strategy
Key Assumptions and Definitions:
1. Elements of good citizenship: We won’t always benefit equally, or in the same way.
2. Ownership preferred, but access may be “good enough” for some Members.
3. “Anchor institutions” have already made or committed significantly to the purchase
of specific content or collections.
4. The diversity and size of our PALCI Membership gives us strong buying power.
Developed by Angela Carreno & Bill Maltarich (New York University)
11. The Proposal:
A New PALCI eBooks Strategy
Principles:
1. Leverage existing PALCI anchor institution expenditures/commitments
to expand access.
2. Prioritize aggregated collections via a single PALCI eBook channel to
improve user experience and discovery.
3. Consider a print component for a holistic approach when possible.
4. Target publishers: mainstream and niche.
12. Why Consortia?
New models are needed to meet modern user needs and budgets
Publishers/Aggregators need to understand our collective needs
Opportunity to share risk
Opportunity to share rewards
Efficiencies
Scale
13. Idea → Implementation
1. Ownership + Access
2. Predictability for BOTH Publishers AND Libraries
3. Portability of Content
4. Dual Access via Aggregation
5. Full eBook ILL rights
6. Print Discounts
a. Print On-Demand
b. Traditional Print Purchasing
14. Pilot: SAGE Knowledge eBooks
