'The Consortia Effect'
“(an) increase in the use of libraries which results after they join a resource sharing consortium” Dr Bob Molyneaux 2011
Consortia = Wider patron choice = Increased use for all
Georgia Pines / Swift consortium statistics

Shared systems & Open Source
• Open source, shared services & libraries = shared values & common purpose?
• Open accessibility
• Sharing of expertise & knowledge
• Co-operation & community base
• Direct control over development
• Reduced costs

The Future: WalesExpect Shared Services to be high on the agenda
Expect pilot projects to spring up over next 12 months
Expect some of those projects to be cross sectoral
Expect shared LMS to be a big priority for investigation
Expect some UK wide projects to start up
Expect Open Source software to be a considered option
..expect change..some compromise..more co-operation, improved services, and hopefully, survival
