----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I am interested in hearing from anyone who is involved with, or knows of others
who are doing, informal or consortia-based sharing between academic and public
libraries, especially for access to electronic resources, technology training,
services provision, or collections management.
It seems to me that the technology offers a gamut of new opportunities for
collaborative and cross-boundary approaches to providing services to local
businesses and other community users.
I am interested in learning about academic/public library collaborative projects
that have been tried, and may not have worked, as well as those that may now be
working.
Please respond to the list so that a threaded discussion might ensue.
