The Iowa Private Academic Library
(IPAL) consortium was formed in 1977
for the following purposes: facilitating
the sharing of information resources
among the private academic libraries
of Iowa; enhancing the availability of
information resources to the academic
community of Iowa; encouraging
the private academic libraries of Iowa
to institute such cost effective practices
and procedures as may be made possible
through state-wide interlibrary
cooperation; enabling private academic
libraries of Iowa to interact with state,
regional, and national electronic
bibliographic communications systems;
and encouraging increased state and
federal support of private academic
libraries.
