Cooperative Collecting

UBC Library believes in cooperative collecting and works with many partners in order to provide superior access to collections.

There are many benefits to cooperative collecting:

• discounts on electronic databases and journals through centralized licensing
• reciprocal borrowing
• resource sharing/interlibrary loan

UBC Library belongs to a number of consortia in order to expand access to collections. These include:

• Canadian Research Knowledge Network
• Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries
• British Columbia Electronic Library Network
• Electronic Health Library of British Columbia (E-HLbc)
• BC Books Online
• Center for Research Libraries
