KŌTUI Leading the way in Cooperative Automation

• Marshall Breeding will focus on trends involving ever larger groups of libraries coming together to share automation and resource-sharing infrastructure. In many geographic areas library automation environments are consolidating into ever larger systems. Multiple established consortia are merging together and new consortia are emerging. Interest in state-wide and nation-wide infrastructure for library automation continues to grow. Library management systems, both the established ones and the new-generation products, seem well able to scale up to the largest conceivable implementation, with organizational and political issues imposing more constraint than the capabilities of the technology. But in times of ever constrained resources and interest in the strongest resource sharing possibilities, these large consolidated library automation implementations seem to be an important and mostly positive trend.
Increased interest in Cooperation Lowered automation costs Opportunities for resource sharing
Direct Consortial Borrowing Increase collection materials available to
library patrons Collaborative Collection Development Options for shared technical services

based on Ex Libris Alma
Oribs Cascade Alliance strategy Want to press the limits of deep collaboration
among independent institutions Collectively build collections, selective areas of
strength Shared or distributed technical processing Shared infrastructure path to effective
collaboration Challenges: diverse organizations, coordination
among many governance boards, accommodate policies, identity, and issues of local control
Previous arrangements impeded collaboration
Mandate to Cooperate
Trend toward shared automation Better leverage for library collections Savings in automation frees resources
for other strategic services Provide stronger resources together than
possible by each library independently Shared automation is just the beginning
