Abstract:
This article describes and discusses consortia models in Europe.
Emphasis is given to those consortia that support content provision
and access to electronic information resources in society. Four
country cases are introduced as examples of the heterogeneous
solutions chosen by the consortia. The main results and impact of
the consortia are discussed. International cooperation has played an
important role in the development of consortia in Europe. Regional
and global collaboration initiatives are also discussed.
