The document describes two library consortia in Hawaii - the Hawaii Library Consortium (HLC) and the Medical Libraries Consortium of Hawaii (MLCH) - that work together to share costs and gain access to e-resources. HLC is a statewide consortium of various library types governed by a volunteer board. MLCH is a buying club for medical resources. Both consortia allow members to purchase resources individually at lower prices than negotiating alone. Members are generally satisfied but suggest expanding the database selections. The consortia are successful with no paid staff or administrative fees.
