Abstract: | Summary This paper reviews the history of the CIC Electronic Journals Collection Project. The organizational model used by the consortia for this particular project is described, explored and critiqued. Alternative models of organization are presented and explored. Additionally the staffing and equipment needed to build and maintain such a project are described in detail. A special challenge of consortial projects is the need for close coordination and broad communication. Both staffing and organization are discussed in light of these issues. |
