10. We enjoy unnatural disasters, too! We have the usual construction miscues and the occasional broken water pipe. Our rule of Thumb: --if it can break – it will —if it has water – it will flood the library.

Editor's Notes
The Network of Alabama Academic Libraries (NAAL), a self-governed, statewide consortium representing the libraries of the public and private non-profit colleges and universities in Alabama. We have two statewide digitization programs: AlabamaMosaic which seeks to make our unique treasures accessible online and the Alabama Digital Preservation Network (ADPNet) which seeks to preserve locally created digital content. NAAL was established in 1984 to coordinate academic library resource sharing to assure that Alabama’s students, faculty, and other researchers would obtain the information needed for successful instruction and research. Its vision is based on the concept of an “Alabama Research Collection” with users having access to needed information regardless of where the material is held or the user is located. Its programs responds to these Janus Challenge topics: Acceleration of transition from print to electronic collections Importance of defining and building core collections Expansion of library partnerships and redefinition of the library marketplace for the licensing of electronic resources Development of mechanisms to archive print and digital content The best thing we do in NAAL is share poverty, and our hallmark seems always to be that we have little money. As a result we do a lot with very little new, ongoing funding. We believe our strategies have application for other groups of libraries facing the same challenges.
