Introduction
The NC Cardinal consortium consists of multiple counties and their libraries joining forces to offer better support amongst their peers, offer more material for their patrons, and to create everlasting results that make each library valuable.
NC Cardinal’s mission is to provide, maintain and continually develop an efficient, sustainable ILS for public library users and library staff within North Carolina. The establishment of the NC Cardinal consortium promotes a single vision for providing library services and access to library materials for North Carolina library users.
The Resource Sharing section is to provide guidance and best practices for NC Cardinal's resource sharing aspect of the consortium. This is a live document that may need to be amended in the future as the consortium grows into a larger entity.
