ICOLC Statement on Global Economic Situation

The International Coalition of Library Consortia (ICOLC) has issued a statement about the impact of the global economic situation on libraries and database licensing in particular. Two consortia of which UK is a member – SAALCK and SOLINET – are signatories to the statement. You will find the full detail at http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6630818.html?industryid=47109

The statement sends a strong message from all the major consortia in the world that it cannot be business as usual in the months ahead as we renew and/or cancel subscriptions and database agreements.
