The Power of Consortia

Libraries around the world, of all shapes and sizes, have successfully used consortia to maximize the reach of their resources and their spending budgets.

This roundtable will bring together leaders of several consortia to talk about their work and their efforts to ensure the broadest possible access to all forms of information in the 21st century.
Confirmed speakers include Miguel Figueroa, Executive Director, AMIGOS Library Services, Lucy Harrison, Executive Director, GALILEO; George Machovec, Executive Director, Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries (CARL); Jill Morris, Executive Director, PALCI; and Andrew K. Pace, Executive Director, USMAI.
