eIFL works to support library consortia in almost fifty developing and transition countries from Albania to Kyrgyzstan to Zimbabwe. Naturally, the circumstances and needs vary from region to region and from consortium to consortium. Newly formed consortia are developing mission statements and grappling with organisational issues, while others may be well established with dedicated consortium office space and paid staff responsible for managing access to thousands of electronic journals worth millions of Euro to the country’s research and higher education community.
