Abstract

e-global library is an information broker that has pulled together excellent information resources, and packaged them in a way that makes them more affordable and readily available through a user-friendly delivery system that is fully tailorable to the needs of individual institutions and libraries. Just as a Wall Street mutual fund is able to give professionally managed stock market access to smaller investors at an affordable price, e-global library is an information broker that gives access to several quality online library services for a price which most educational facilities would be unable to match if they were to implement these services on their own. Of course, most schools already have libraries, so the question is, will they receive enough value from e-global library to justify the added expense?
