Abstract	Most academic libraries are members of at least one consortium, and many belong to multiple consortia. However, consortia vary widely in the services they offer and in how they are structured. This project, carried out in the fall of 2009, focused on a review of fifteen academic library consortia that: Included two-year colleges, either exclusively or as part of a joint consortial arrangement with four-year colleges and universities; and Purchased or licensed databases and/or electronic resources as part of their consortial services.Interview topics included membership, governance, fiscal agency, electronic resources, positive qualities, and goals and future challenges. (Contains 1 table and 20 online resources.) (As Provided).
