(English Translation of Elektronische Informationen - Möglichkeiten der Wissensorganisation am Beispiel von Konsortien, BibSpider 2003)
The book describes and analyses different forms of organizing cooperation and consortia in Europe, South Africa, Taiwan, Brazil and the United States.
It is focussing on organizational, political and administrative problems which very often impede the success of consortia in spite of technological success and best practice solutions. Success and failure of different forms of consortia for different types of libraries and information systems are analyzed according to information and human resources available. The joint authorship of a Czech and a German author underlines on one side the different views and on the other side the necessity of cooperation for the future work of information services to approach the international user.
The book is of useful for practioneers as well as teachers and politicians, library directors and information managers who are concerned for streamlining departments and institutions of library and information services for future tasks.
