Abstract
The workshop, New Collections: New Marketplace Relationships, was held on Monday, August 17, 1998 at the 64th IFLA General Conference. Five speakers, who represented different consortia from Australia, Europe, and the United States, described their experiences in managing the transformation in collection development activities caused by the purchase of electronic resources in research libraries. The five consortia (CIC, UKB, GBV, VIVA, and CAUL), with varying governance and traditions, have followed different strategies in negotiating consortial licenses for electronic resources. The high costs of these new resources have encouraged increased cooperation and may lead to formal international cooperation to foster global access.
