>This September I will be attending a meeting that will,
>in part, involve a discussion of management and governance
>issues related to automated library consortia. In preparation
>for this meeting, I am attempting to identify significant
>issues in the management and governance of library
>consortia.
>
>In brief, I'd like to ask your help with identifying
>significant consortial funding, management and governance
>issues. I see these issues as being viewed from three
>perspectives:
>
> 1. Local. What are the important consortial issues from the
> perspective of the local library? What are the problematic
> or troublesome issues that come up in the local library
> regarding consortial participation?
>
> 2. Governance. If you serve on a consortial governing body,
> or a subcommittee of such a group (or have opinions
> about consortial governance), what are the significant
> issues facing such organizations?
>
> 3. Management. If you are employed by a consortium, what
> are the significant issues related to the management and
> day-to-day operation of a consortium?
>
>Thanks!
