Providing Database Access to Remote Patrons? 

In today's world of digital information, libraries need new tools to match a wide range of remote patrons with the right remote information resources, responsively and economically.

To find an alternative to purchasing decisions made in a vacuum or in the fog of uncertainty created by the dynamic marketplace for these services. Build a Procurement Information Repository to share information about the buyers and sellers active in your segment of the marketplace.

Tired of the World Wide Wait? 

Libraries are increasingly dependent on access to commercial online databases. Too often patron access to these expensive and critical information resources is blocked by congestion on the global Internet. Tired of the wait, build an Extranet for your library consortium.
