The Library is currently in discussion with 17 other university libraries in Quebec about the implementation of a shared library services platform. This landmark project would allow for a collaborative pooling of the libraries’ services and collections, creating a unique portal for McGill students, faculty and researchers. McGill will support the shared initiative if the choice of system, implementation plan, timeline and one-time and ongoing costs meet the needs of McGill students, faculty and internal processes.
