The Mercian Collaboration

A regional network based in the UK Midlands, currently comprising 23 academic libraries. Funded through a subscription model, membership is open to all SCONUL member libraries in good standing within the midlands. The Collaboration provides a space to collectively explore training and development and seek efficiencies on behalf of its institutions and the wider community. Members draw on their own and each other’s good practice and ideas, along with their awareness of relevant developments from outside the Collaboration. Activities are strategically shaped by a Steering Group and Directors Board, with practical delivery on aspirations tasked to various special interest subgroups.
