Strong partnerships and an open exchange create better offers and research. , "Global South" -- low income and developing countries throughout the world , Academic and governmental libraries , Across the globe research libraries can work more closely together through study abroad programs and research exchanges; the issues libraries are trying to resolve are similar across the globe; small public libraries are facing more difficulties exchanging experiences and ideas internationally -- we need networks of small and rural libraries, large urban libraries, as well as, small and large academic and research libraries; we also need networks of specialized libraries like national libraries, special libraries, and other types. , African countries , African Countries, European Countries , all , All , All - honestly any partnership/relationship is great. , all countries , All countries , All countries in Europe , All countries in Western Europe , Any who are interested. , All countries that have applicable/complimentary curriculum, mission, resources; ideally focus would be on Global South for better representation, though relationships with Global North partners may be easier to create at first. , all countries that want them , All countries, depending on the projects , All countries.

IF language isn't a barrier, I would add countries in the developed world. , G20-countries , Generally non-western countries. There are a lot of collaborations with other European (mostly British and Frensh) and American libraries (mostly because of software development projects), but rather none with african or asian libraries. , German speaking countries, European Countries , Germany, France, Scandinavian countries, Russia , Germany, other European countries , Germany, UK, Canada, Mexico, France, etc. Too many to list and really depends on the nature of partnership. , Germany!

It might depend on the type of library and populations we serve. , I don't want to limit to a specific set of countries -- there should be more international partnerships in general. , I think it is more important to work with specific types of libraries rather than where they are located , I think libraries in all other countries would make good collaborators. Librarians in India and the global south are doing extroardinary innovative things despite having statistically lower budgets on average, libraries in the UK are doing great work with read and publish agreements and restructuring the conversation about open access & publisher agreements, and libraries in Canada, Mexico, and Brazil are doing similar work to that being done in the US, but are ahead of us in some regards as well. In general, keeping abreast of what other professionals are doing in different environments is a good thing. , I think there would be much to learn from any other country. , I would consider collaboration with any other country based on need. , I would like to see more collaboration with countries in the Global South. , In any country where such partnerships make sense. , in european countries , In France and Great Britain , in the EU , India, China, any libraries in South/Central America and Africa. , international, not a specific country , Ireland, UK, USA, Netherlands, Nordic Countries (like Sweden, Norway...) , It depends on the mission of the library and the purpose of the collabs, but I would encourage working with developing nations. , it would depend on the need, the kind of project , Italy, France , Japan , Japan and England, especially , Korea, China, England, Canada, Norway, Sweden, United States , less developed countries. , Libraries in the Global South , libraries with less access to materials (engage in more ILL) , Library of the university Groningen, Libraries in England, austria, Netherlands , Many , Many options; depends on objectives at hand. Collaborative collection building offers many opportunities. , Mexico, and Latin and Central American countries , Mexico, China, Canada, Europe , More collaboration with Middle Eastern and East Asian countries , My answer would be colored by my own field, Northern and Eastern Europe. Other librarians working in Asian studies would name other countries, wouldn't they? , neighboring countries - but really: any that fit thematically , Nethelands, UK ...

Anywhere really. , The broadest range of countries possible. , The country is not as important as is a parallel of issues and efforts. , The U.S. should do more to collaborate with Canadian and Mexican libraries; they should also explore relationships with Asian libraries because of our large number of international students from Asia. , There are many implications in this answer, so I am hesitant to just start listing countries. One answer would be "all of them." Another answer would be that we should collaborate with countries that share traditional US library values, including democratic values of openness, attribution, scholarly integrity, anti-censorship, etc.) There is a lot to unpack with this question. , There is no natural limit on the possible countries. There are always opportunities to learn or give support. , There needs to be more collaboration with all countries, so that research materials are available in all areas. , There should be more collaboration between libraries in Western and non-Western countries. Western countries and the academic professionals in them tend to look down on the work that comes from institutions in non-Western countries, and that's wrong. I think greater ties between these two regions would improve library services around the world, and help decolonize Western (particularly American) libraries as well. , There should be more connections through international organizations like ASIS&T , Those of strategic importance to the researchers and students of the institution of which I am a part. It is community specific since resources and time are limited. , Those that are not in "developing countries" should partner with those that are - to expand information access to researchers in developing countries. , U.S., Scandinavian countries (very modern), Africa , U.S.A. , UK , UK France Germany , UK USA , UK, China, Japan, Germany , UK, Europe , UK, France, Germany, India, China, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Spain, Australia , UK, France, Germany, Italy, Australia , UK, Germany, Japan, China, etc. , UK, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Norway , UK, Scandinavia , Uk, US , United Kingdom , United Kingdom, Netherlands , United States , United States of America , United States, France, UK , Unsure , US and Germany; Germany and Cameroon , US/Canada/Mexico; US/EU , USA , USA & EU libraries should learn more from each other and cooperate more together, especially regarding open access. , USA and Europe , USA, Australia, Great Britain, Norway/Scandinavia, Baltic States , USA, Canada, UK, Scandinavia, Netherlands , USA, Europe, Australia, Japan, China , USA, France, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Japan, South Korea , USA, Netherlands, GB, Switzerland, Austria , USA, Norway , USA, Russia , USA, russia, great britain , USA, Scandinavian countries , USA, Scandinavian Countries and all the surrounding countries of Germany , USA, UK , USA, UK, Asia , USA, UK, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Norway , USA; then European countries, e.g. France, Italy, Great Britain, The Netherlands. , W.
