Title: Consultation
Narrative:
The Arkansas State Library administered the program but was not a participatory member. ASL staff helped onboard new members, provided training and consultation, assisted with troubleshooting, chaired the Selection Committee, purchased materials, and facilitated communication between OverDrive and member libraries.
ASL staff also spearheaded several special projects through OverDrive. ASL staff formed a Magazine Committee who was tasked with recommending a digital magazine platform and creating a fair pricing model to assist member libraries in covering the cost. ASL staff collected the funds for the magazine subscription. This involved communicating pricing with the members, training them in best practices for transferring funds to the shared account, and working with OverDrive to add the magazines to the collection.
Intent: Improve users’ ability to obtain and/or use information resources.

Activity Details
Title: Resource Acquisition
Narrative: The consortium owned a core collection of titles shared among all libraries. A central Selection Committee, made of 7 librarians representing each legal service population tier, purchased titles for the shared collection using member libraries’ annual minimum content fees. Selection Committee Members determined funding allocations, buying schedule, and ordering guidelines. Each member was responsible for purchasing materials in a different genre and format, which allowed them to lighten the workload of purchasing items and avoid cross-purchasing titles.
When individual libraries purchased additional material, they had the option to share those titles with the rest of the group while still retaining ownership. Demonstrating the collaborative spirit of the consortium, every ADLC member shared their private collection with the rest of the group. The number of electronic materials acquired accounts for the total number of copies purchased with the shared pool funds that year. It doesn't include the number of copies purchased by member libraries and shared with the group.
Intent: Improve users’ ability to obtain and/or use information resources.
