The New York State Higher Education Initiative (NYSHEI) represents the public and private academic and research libraries of New York, and differs from other state-based academic library organizations in both its size and mission. NYSHEI holds about 150 member institutions, including all 87 of the state’s public colleges and universities, and nine ARL members. Founded in 2002, NYSHEI evolved into its current form in 2007 by adopting a focus on political advocacy. NYSHEI applies its diverse collection of collaborating libraries toward achieving a statewide “information infrastructure” that supports not just the academic enterprise, but all research, innovation, and entrepreneurialism in New York. An important lesson learned during the formative phase of NYSHEI is that collaboration as a strategic value can be fairly meaningless. Rightly understood, collaboration is a tactic that helps two or more parties attain separate but shared aims. As such, NYSHEI approaches information resources as a required utility for the modern era, and actively works with partners in the business community, state government, and health care fields to promote widespread access to information resources. 2002-2007: The Early Initiative New York State is home to the largest public university system in the nation, the State University of New York, known as SUNY and is also home to the nation’s largest urban public university system, the City University of New York or CUNY. These two large public systems operate quite separately. Both SUNY and CUNY are fairly modern inventions and were developed in a state that already had the largest collection of independent colleges and universities. The relationship between the “publics” and the “privates” is historically notorious for its animosity, distrust and, on occasion, its outright belligerence. Lamenting this climate, as so many others have, the former SUNY Provost and current Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute of Public Policy, Peter Salins conceived of NYSHEI. His idea, both grand and specific, was to cultivate collaboration among these three groups to the benefit of all. Rather than overreach on ambition, Salins began where the culture of collaboration was strongest – the libraries. Clarity in Collaboration The idea worked and NYSHEI was formed among the public and private academic and research libraries. At its founding NYSHEI had 125 members, including all 86 public schools. The membership ranged from 34 community colleges to nine ARL libraries that included both the New York State Library and the New York Public Library. It was a wide-ranging group brought together in the spirit of collaboration and under the leadership of a small group of visionary library directors. The collaborative spirit began to fade and by 2006 member institutions were beginning to leave NYSHEI. As a philosophy, collaboration in itself was not enough to stem the erosion of dues paying members. Though strikingly simple, it is a commonly overlook

Patron-driven acquisition models for electronic and print books have become extremely popular in the past two years and in most cases this service has been implemented at many individual libraries. One unique collaborative model of patron-driven acquisition was created by the Orbis Cascade Alliance through a partnership with Ebook Library (EBL) and Yankee Book Peddler (YBP). This unique project is an example of libraries, consortia, and vendors working together to develop new business models during times of financial constraint, where libraries and consortia are exploring various “just-in-time” acquisition models. Collaborative Librarianship spoke with Greg Doyle about the project at Orbis Cascade.
在过去两年中,电子和印刷图书的赞助人驱动的获取模式变得非常流行,在大多数情况下,这种服务已经在许多个别图书馆实施。Orbis Cascade联盟通过与Ebook Library (EBL)和Yankee Book pedler (YBP)的合作,创建了一种独特的以顾客为导向的收购合作模式。这个独特的项目是图书馆、联盟和供应商在财务紧张时期共同开发新业务模型的一个例子,其中图书馆和联盟正在探索各种“及时”获取模型。合作图书馆与Greg Doyle就Orbis Cascade的项目进行了交谈。

A new magazine, ICOSA: Connection and Collaboration, began publication in September, 2008. Dedicated to promoting community partnerships and collaboration of all types, its publisher and editor explain further the importance of collaboration and the vision they have for a new era of cooperation among agencies of academia, business and community. Interview with Gayle Dendinger, Founder and Publisher, and Jan Mazotti, Editor, ICOSA: Connection and Collaboration Jan Mazotti, Editor of ICOSA While public libraries tend to lead the way in understanding and connecting with the larger communities they serve, all types of libraries could benefit from having a deeper understanding of the needs, interests and developments of our communities. Collaboration involves not only partnering with other libraries and librarians; it means connecting in important ways with other persons, groups and agencies within the broader community. A new magazine began publication in September, 2008, devoted precisely to understanding and promoting collaboration on every level of society. With this in mind, Collaborative Librarianship sat down with the Founder and Publisher of ICOSA: Connection and Collaboration magazine, Gayle Dendinger, and with Editor, Jan Mazotti. One would be hardpressed to find more enthusiastic ambassadors for wide-scale collaboration. Gayle Dendinger, CEO of CAP Logistics, an international heavy weight freight carrier, and Member of the Board of Leeds School of Business, University of Colorado at Boulder, is Founder and Publisher of ICOSA. According to his article in a recent Leeds newsletter, http://leeds.colorado.edu/About_Leeds/in terior.aspx?id=2170, Gayle “would like to see Colorado become the collaboration capital of the world.” Jan Mazotti serves as Business Development Director for CAP Worldwide, the international division of CAP Logistics, and is Editor of ICOSA. Jan also is a Board Member of the Alliance for Quality Teaching and for Colorado Performance Excellence, two organizations in Colorado committed to improving education and management through collaboration, innovation and continuous improvement.
