Louisiana to have all resources online• Membership in the LOUIS consortium initiative gives

“Despite its high value, excellent savings for institutions and students, and high member satisfaction – and despite its strong competitive position - LOUIS could disappear if state higher education officials decided funding library information systems was not important, or at least not as important as other claims on scarce higher education public funding. As we’ve discussed, this wouldn’t be entirely rational as it might make the overall set of library information system assets in the state MUCH more expensive (as each buys their own solutions with some mixture of public and private dollars) and, as a result, make schools much LESS likely to meet accreditation standards.”
