Open Access
A Success Story of an Academic Library Consortium: ANKOS

ANKOS has been very successful in linking academic institutions in Turkey to an effective and efficient organisation of consortial activities. This is illustrated by figures provided on its expansion over eighteen years. The paper takes a historical and descriptive approach to the Anatolian University Libraries Consortium (ANKOS). It aims to describe the goals, fields of activity, organizational structure, functioning and the benefits it provides to Turkish academic libraries. . The authors believe that this paper is useful for all academic librarians concerned with consortium systems, cost sharing, e-resource management, open access (OA), collaboration on national and international scales, and staff exchange, especially in the developing world.
