- The Financing of the Michigan Library Consortium. Paper No. 3. Budgets Consortia Costs Financial Support Information Systems Library Expenditures Library Networks Online Systems Statistical Data Since the formal organization of the Michigan Library Consortium, its financial support has come through membership fees and a grant from the Michigan State Library from Title III funds. The financing of the consortium is already a complex operation and will become even more complex as new programs are undertaken, since funds have been accepted for specific purposes which must be respected. Another method of financing the consortium is proposed here with the specific example of participation in the Ohio College Library Center (OCLC). OCLC in its financing arrangement has set up an organization to reduce overhead costs and to avoid cash flow problems. The former must be assumed by the consortium. The consortium should follow the wisdom of OCLC in the latter. (Author/SL)
