People from academic and college libraries across the US have written the 15 chapters of this book. The theme of this collection of papers is the possible co-operation and contact between such libraries and the organisations in their area. The latter cover governmental, business and community enterprises. The co-operative schemes include education initiatives, community projects, acquisition of online information services at preferential rates for the locality, providing online access to locally useful information, and so on. Chapter headings include: “Partnerships in information literacy” “Statewide training projects” “Co-operative library services” “Managing grey literature” “Patent and trademark depository libraries” “Vendor/library collaboration”.
