In today's world of digital information, libraries need new tools to match a wide range of remote patrons with the right remote information resources, responsively and economically. To find an alternative to purchasing decisions made in a vacuum or in the fog of uncertainty created by the dynamic marketplace for these services. Build a Procurement Information Repository to share information about the buyers and sellers active in your segment of the marketplace.
Libraries are increasingly dependent on access to commercial online databases.
Too often patron access to these expensive and critical information resources is blocked by congestion on the global Internet. Tired of the wait, build an Extranet for your library consortium. Today libraries are facing a new dynamic of information access based on dispersion, rapid and widespread growth of electronic resources, demand for instant gratification, new business paradigms, and more. To survive in the Electronic Era, libraries must have a clear picture of the information needs of their patrons.
