Consortium Cooperation: Ways to improve overall collection development through ordering collaboration
Betty Adams, Library Director, West Fargo Public Library
Many consortiums have the same titles, while lesser known, niche, fringe, or first time authors, are harder to locate within these systems. This webinar aims to provide fresh ways to think about ordering for libraries who participate in consortiums and offer solutions for collaboration within the communities for better overall collection development and more diversity in title availability, ultimately increasing the impact consortium libraries have within their communities and throughout their consortiums.
