Creating new partnerships for consortial licensing: the NN/LM PSR ? SCELC experience
ER&L Conference Committee October 22nd, 2008
Proposed Abstract:
Hospital libraries have traditionally had few opportunities for consortial licensing of electronic resources and databases. Some hospital libraries have enjoyed discounts through their hospital system purchasing departments. Others have banded together through professional association chapters, for example, regional chapters of the Medical Library Association. California, which includes more hospital libraries than any other state in the nation, has not had consortial purchasing opportunities outside of hospital system purchasing. This presentation describes collaboration between the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Pacific Southwest Region, and the Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC) to try to address this need. We will describe the goals of this partnership, explore the strengths each partner brings, and results to date.
