ABSTRACT

SUMMARY. The University of Southern California's multiple library systems function like a consortia rather than a single entity. The libraries required a system that serves multiple purposes including creating Web 90pages, sharing resources, and managing licensed resources. To meet all the needs and to deal with the issue of each library using different library systems, the libraries created a customized database. Librarians from the multiple systems and a Web programmer worked as a team to develop the database. Although the smaller partner in the project, the Health Sciences Libraries played a vital role and achieved a system that met its individual needs.
