Abstract

Contribution to an issue devoted to serials and reference services. Reference librarians in the Surburban Library System in the south suburbs of Chicago have formed associations to share ideas and promote cooperative projects. Small scale, without outside funding, these projects contribute to improving library service to users. Organised by public librarians, the Reference Association of South Suburban Libraries (RASSL) now includes several community college libraries. 33 libraries in a telephone book cooperative collect the telephone books for all cities in the US. A newspaper cooperative shares subscriptions to the Sunday editions of 12 out-of-town newspapers. A reference book exchange distributes withdrawn reference books. A guide to subject strengths helps members locate strong subject collections in area libraries. A cooperative collection development project helps develop special collections to meet the needs of members.
