Hello librarians
I'm looking for any research on the topic of "consolidation (or outsourcing) of backroom functions in libraries". I've done a search on Library & Information Science Abstracts (LISA) but I have not managed to find a great deal. I was wondering if anyone on here knows of any literature (perhaps a locally produced report that was never published formally)?
Kind regards
p.s. these are the papers that I found on LISA:
Connell, Ruth Sara. The Consolidation of Two Campus Interlibrary Loan Units into One: A Partnership between Law and Main Campus. Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery & Electronic Reserve 20.1 (January 2010): 5- 18.
Leonhardt, Thomas. Cooperative cataloguing: the power behind the scenes. Technicalities 26.1 (February 2006): 4-5
