Abstract

Library consortia possess unique opportunities to marshal resources of a library collective toward a common goal. The report of the International Coalition of Library Consortia (ICOLC) task force outlines strategies to reframe what libraries should be doing differently with commercial vendors and lays out a vision where libraries focus on community-owned efforts within a framework for supporting these projects long-term. ICOLC formed a task force for Open Collaboration in Library Consortia as part of a reset of its effort to find tangible recommendations for libraries to change the environment of its infrastructure, software, and content within a library services platform ecosystem.
