A Library Consortium is a collaborative group of libraries that work together to share resources, services, and information. By joining forces, these libraries can provide their patrons with access to a wider range of materials, such as books, journals, and digital content, than they could individually. This cooperation often leads to cost savings and improved services for library users. Consortia can vary in size and structure, including public libraries, academic libraries, and special libraries. They may engage in joint purchasing agreements, share cataloging services, and develop shared technology platforms, enhancing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the participating libraries.
