Abstract
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.
