contents The Role of College Libraries in the Planning, Development, and Operation of Educational Programs in Multi-purpose Higher Education Consortia. Forbis, Yates M. College Faculty College Libraries Consortia Educational Programs Higher Education Librarians Library Research Library Surveys Program Descriptions Program Development Information collected by questionnaires, correspondence, and consultation with library personnel at four collegiate consortia shed light upon the role of libraries in the functioning of these consortia. The results showed that many expectations went unmet. Namely, specialized collections were not efficiently built and shared, faculties exhibited jealousy rather than cooperation, administrative demands on staff did not decrease, library staffs were not included in the overall policy making phase for the consortia, and consortia directors did not communicate well with library staffs. On the positive side, where there was interlibrary cooperation, materials were exchanged, new courses based upon exchanged materials developed, and uniform circulation systems developed and these encouraged similar uniformities in other academic areas. Also, library orientation courses for students in the consortia were offered, workshops for library staffs were held, some joint acquisitions were made, and communications between librarians improved.
