Abstract

SHB started in 2003 as a Consortium in the same model of the Dutch University Libraries, but we are also School libraries. We balance between both sites. Our goals are: to buy (cheaper) licensees to digital content of professional and scientific literature; to give support of the position of the libraries in the organizations; to stimulate innovation and professionalism.
Our opportunities are: to give access to digital collections; to support students (information literacy) and teachers (research, educational tools); to strengthen the influence to the school board (benchmark). In this paper we will give an overview of our results, the goals for the next years and how we’ll find the balance.
