Thank you to the UBC iSchool for the warm welcome last week! BC ELN Communications Manager Leah Hopton and Student Librarian Sameena Sheriff presented the consortial approach to library collaboration to an engaged group of library school students, faculty, and staff on October 2nd. Some key takeaways:

  • Library consortia are powerful mechanisms for scaling up impact, influence, and capacity.
  • Consortia are driven by their members’ needs and are powered by member contributions and participation.
  • Consortial work is highly rewarding - we support libraries and library staff at a system level.Consortial work

We appreciated the thoughtful questions, and we look forward to future opportunities to share and build awareness at the iSchool!
