  9. Final Comments • UNC and AHEC support is based on a statewide mission of public service and community support, which is critical to success of the ADL • Hospital librarians make the consortium successful • While the consortium pricing per member is cost effective, it is still a challenge to meet the huge annual price increases incurred from the vendors and publishers. • Our future lies in creating more value-added services beyond purchasing licensed resources.
