Hirshon attended a meeting in The Hague in February with representatives from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Germany. Comprising about sixty library consortia in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Israel, and Australia, the Coalition represents over 5,000 member libraries worldwide. The Coalition serves primarily higher education institutions by facilitating discussion among its members on issues of common interest. These meetings also provide a forum for consortial representatives to meet with the information provider community, discuss their products, and engage in a dialog with Coalition members about issues of mutual concern. This statement does not necessarily represent the official views of each consortium listed.
Consortia listed are in the United States unless otherwise noted.
