| Abstract: | The concept of cooperation is not new. In Book II of the "Republic" Plato wrote that a city comes into being because not one of us is self-sufficient but needs many things. This same reason could very well both introduce and sum up the theme of library cooperation today. Libraries work and act together because it has become increasingly evident over the past twenty-five years that no library is large, well-stocked and well-staffed enough to be completely self-sufficient. Libraries everywhere need to depend on one another both at a national and international level. |
