The consortial environment provides librarians with new ways to
manage collections at their home institutions. Academic libraries
in Ohio have been participating in OhioLINK since 1988, and the
consortium has had an effect on shaping local collections for more
than one decade. While each institution pursues its own collection
management strategy, the shared resources and delivery system
provided through OhioLINK influence local collections profoundly.
What has been the effect? This work is a collection of articles
assessing local collections within a consortial environment. The
authors assess collections from their own vantage points,
considering such diverse factors as cost, regional depositories,
book reviews, and faculty input. The influence of consortial ties
in shaping local collections is a common thread throughout the
work.
This book was published as a special issue of Collection
Management.
