National and local pressures for cooperation, summed up in the Library and Information Services Council's (LISC) call for 'progress through planning and partnership' are again highlighting the practical implications of planning to share local, regional and national resources. The automated bibliographic file is the key element to support links between cooperating library systems. The seminar explores the background of the climate for change both nationally and locally, the services facilitating and promoting cooperation that are available today, the initiatives that are being taken and developed and finally looks at the future of national networks.
