FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT IN THE NETWORK ENVIRONMENT: What Network Members Should Know

Abstract

No matter the size of a particular network, its location, its service direction, or the number of services it provides it members, there is a common thread it shares with all other networks: the aim to aid library members in obtaining the best services at the lowest price. Networks thrive on their ability to negotiate and obtain favorable discounts for library supplies purchased through cooperative purchasing programs, document delivery, archival tape services, conservation/ preservation training, access to online information retrieval services, etc.
