Abstract
The Scottish Academic Libraries Bibliographic Information Network (SALBIN) is one among many of the manifestations of productive co‐operation among the Scottish libraries. Other formal and visible ones include the early establishment of the Scottish Union Catalogue and the inter‐lending system based on it, the Working Group for Co‐operation in Acquisitions, the building of the SCOLCAP mutual database which provided the bibliographic databases for most of the automated systems, and more recent initiatives in CON‐SPECTUS and in a joint training programe for library staffs. All these, of course, have as their final objective the improvement of service to the libraries' users, but mediated through the library staff, and therefore not only planned but implemented and experienced at staff level.
