Abstract
Focuses on how successful collaboration has been achieved between three Canadian university libraries. The management recognised that there were cultural differences between the three library systems, and encouraged an open examination of values, personal systems and attitudes in order to prepare for the effects of change. Discusses the planning process and the lessons learned from the TriUniversity Group of Libraries collaboration.
