Abstract

The first Spanish university library consortium, Consorcio de Bibliotecas Universitarias de Cataluna, was formed in 1996. Other consortium in Spain were created from 1996 to 2002 to negotiate licences for content. They include: Consorcio de las Universidades de la Comunidad de Madrid y de la UNED para la cooperacin bibliotecaria (Consorcio Madroo), Consorcio de Bibliotecas Universitarias de Andalucía, Consorcio de Bibliotecas Universitarias de Galicia, etc. Since we began working together in 2002, there have been several meetings to formulate goals. Although the main goal has been the co-operative acquisitions of electronic resources, now is a good time to start new consortia programmes and services.
