How will the proposed consortium affect existing consortia in Australia?
The proposed consortium will not replace existing library consortia, and will work very closely with most of the existing consortia. The broad range of needs of Australian libraries means there will always be specialised resources that a national consortium would not consider purchasing. Existing consortia will be able to subscribe to resources through the national consortium, in the same way that some library consortia currently subscribe to Libraries Australia on behalf of their members, and this will be the preferred model of operation.
