Abstract

Economic forces have created the need for librarians to explore new methods of delivering information. Technological developments have created the means for librarians themselves to move into electronic publishing to increase cost-efficiency. A new consortium model is proposed in which members would both generate scholarly work and access it at a lower cost. Included are overviews of scholarly publishing, copyright issues, technological feasibility, value added features, and the effects of the proposed consortium.
