This might be of interest to some. Access to information is problematic
for many non-profit environmental libraries. Perhaps this is a way to address
the issue.

Introducing the…
International Environment Library Consortium
Bringing resources within reach for non-profit special libraries
Research needs, library budgets, and resource costs far exceed budgets, and
resource price increases regularly outstrip budget increases. To address this
challenge, the libraries of the World Wildlife Fund, World Resources Institute,
Wildlife Conservation Society, and The Nature Conservancy joined forces for
2010 to achieve greater purchasing power and formed the International
Environment Library Consortium. The purpose of the IELC is to provide research
resources in the areas of environment, ecology, wildlife, natural resources,
business, and economics. Together we are able to expand and enhance access to
the major scholarly publishers, and plan to undertake new development projects
for products and services that would benefit consortium members over time.
Who can apply for membership? The IELC is open to not-for profit 501(c)(3)
organizations or government agencies working in environmental conservation. To
join for 2011, please contact us as soon as possible. Commitments for 2011
subscriptions will be made early November 2010. Contact the IELC Administrator
