Consortial scenarios review

#3 is more of a library-specific situation rather than a consortia scenario

• "two-layer" library system

  • administratively separate - own funding and materials

  • does hierarchy affect other functional areas - permissions, acquisitions, etc.

#1

• similar scenario in FLO

  • difference: each institutiion owns their own material

    • Texas has a similar situation between a state and private institution; @Paula Sullenger will look into details of this

• should/can library layer be shared by multiple institutions/campuses? both this scenario and #2 would benefit from that

#2

• separate ILS - not quite a consortia

Important point: System needs to be able to adapt to changing relationships between libraries. Moving any layer of the hierarchy to a different spot would ideally be a "drag-and-drop" function (e.g. Library A moves from Institution 1 to Institution 2).

Any other scenarios?

• none come to mind
