Session Description
Can libraries with different needs and goals successfully work together to build a strong shared collection and contain costs? This talk will highlight the practical aspects of how three libraries collaborated to deploy a consortial print approval plan and complementary evidence-based acquisition (EBA) ebook plans, thereby saving money, reducing duplication and building a collection that meets patron needs.
