Building statewide library services to enhance education, research and
service continues as the goal of the Utah Academic Library Consortium (UALC). The
consortium includes all the accredited, public and private college and university
libraries in the State of Utah. This last year the public college and university libraries in
Nevada joined the consortium. These libraries joined UALC to build cooperation in
their state and to cooperate in the enhancement of library services for the two states.
Their membership has already demonstrated the value of this expansion of
cooperation by increasing participation in negotiations with publishers and vendors,
resulting in significant savings for all library members.
