Support Orbis Cascade Alliance

Category: Mission Statement: The orbis cascade alliance enables member libraries to advance institutional missions through collaboration and innovation. Here are some of the key programs we worked on last year: - Program 1: Includes the electronic resource and e-book service. the orbis cascade alliance helps its members and other libraries in the region to purchase electronic resources and e-books.the alliance's role may take various forms and can include activities such as resource selection and license & price negotiation. the alliance also works with its member institutions and their patrons to purchase electronic book content to support the member's institutional degree / program offerings based on patron usage. - Program 2: Integrated library systems: provides a shared library management information system that provides a common platform and data structure that can be used by all alliance libraries at a reduced cost. - Program 3: The unique & local content program provides for development, stewardship and dissemination of unique and local content. services under the unique & local content program include: archives & manuscript collections, which provides enhanced access to thousands of archival and manuscript collections in idaho, montana, oregon, utah, and washington through the archives west website, and support for archival collection management and digital collections, which supports the creation, maintenance, and aggregation of unique digital content held by alliance libraries.
