Indeed, cooperation is a basic operating principle for the university libraries. We follow common standards, use the same vendor for our library computer systems, and share materials through Interlibrary Loan and joint purchases of electronic materials. The libraries participate in Alaska’s Reciprocal Borrowers Program, which allows students, staff and faculty from all UA campuses colleges to check materials out from any of the libraries and return them through their local libraries. Electronic materials in business, nursing, environmental and biological studies, education and psychology are purchased for UA-wide use. Another group of electronic materials, the Databases for Alaskans (recently renamed the Digital Pipeline), licenses resources for all Alaskans as well as the university. This program has been very successful and serves as a model for statewide library services. The Databases for Alaskans program delivers core academic resources to all of the UA campuses. Together, the UA libraries represent the largest core of information resources in the state of Alaska. Because of this and the University of Alaska’s service mission to the state, the UA Libraries dedicate considerable resources in funds, staff time, and IT to assisting all Alaskans as well as supporting the educational and research missions of the University of Alaska.
