Consortial Needs Survey - Themes Professional development, for the
improvement/promotion both of core library services and of integration of academic information units
Cost reduction is the main reason for targeting consortial licensing of e-resources
Learning about new library and learning technologies is an important goal
Sharing resources for information literacy instruction is more important than broader curricular collaboration at this point

Library resource sharing not among highest priorities, but a majority expectation as indicator of consortial “success”
