This article examines the development of the Alliance for Innovation in Science and Technology Information, a partnership among multitype libraries that support research in science and technology. Originally established in 1992 as the Library Services Alliance of New Mexico, the consortium has evolved from a six-member statewide group focusing on resource sharing to an international organization with 13 members, a business plan, new goals, and a new name to reflect its expanded geographical and philosophical scope. Using sound business practices, the Alliance strives to be an innovative leader in cyber sci/tech information, producing new models of scholarly communication.
