Research, Leadership, and Resource-Sharing Initiatives: The Role of Local Library Consortia in Access to Medical Information
Abstract
A consortium is an association of independent libraries and/or library systems established by formal agreement, usually for the purpose of resource-sharing. The needs of special libraries cannot be fully addressed by regional organization because of its wide scope, thus, a consortium for specific group is deemed useful. This book chapter aims to describe the development of a local consortium and its role in building a culture of research, creating dynamic leadership and discussing how resource-sharing scheme goes beyond traditional inter-library loan. Using focus group discussion, the consortium members thresh out issues and concerns where collaborative research, dynamic leadership and resource- sharing pave way to enhance access to medical information.
