It would be nice to have the university library systems more integrated into
the community ones. For example, if all the community had cards at the
uofi library, and the county lib staff were housed in the same facilities, then
there would be a pretty reasonable cost savings? Seems like, as they are
both state institutions, there would be ways to do it. As well, all of the
school districts also have libraries and librarians. Couldn't those as well
be integrated? It would be more of a matrix information system rather than
a vertically integrated one.....
