ALICE - Adventist Library Information Cooperative

On September 1, 1996 ALICE came into existence with 10 inaugural members - Andrews University, Columbia Union College, Florida Hospital College, LaSierra University, Loma Linda University, Oakwood College, Pacific Union College, Southern Adventist University, Union College, and Walla Walla College.

The purpose of this organization is to negotiate contracts with electronic information vendors that will allow the member libraries to extend access to electronic information resources to their respective clienteles in their library buildings, across their campuses and to their extension students in the most cost-effective way possible. It is the intent of the organization in the furture to extend services both to other levels of Adventist education as well as to institutions around the world.

ALICE is a participant in the International Coalition of Library Consortia (ICOLC).
