El sistema bibliotecario de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México: ¿un consorcio?

UNAM's acquired experience with the acquisition of print documents and cd-rom databases has allowed it to establish actions for carrying out centralised and shared electronic resource acquisition. Its goals are to rationalise spending and to avoid the duplicate subscriptions that occurred with print journals and cd-rom databases. In this article we explain how the UNAM's library system acquires electronic resources in ways similar to some library consortia, even though it does not constitute a consortium itself.
