The Group
Licensing Initiative, formed in 2002 under the umbrella of HSLANJ, researches, approves
and establishes relationships with vendors, negotiating all pricing and
assisting members with licensing needs.
The National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Mid-Atlantic Region
(NNLM/MAR),has endorsed us as the lead organization capable of connecting
libraries to cost-effective electronic resources.
The Group Licensing Initiative is
managed by medical librarian/consultant Robert Mackes
and guided by a committee comprised of members from different-sized health
facilities in the region served.
Currently, there are nearly 100 participants, linking more than
35,000 physicians and 88,000 nurses in New Jersey, New York and Delaware,
plus 40,000 physicians and nurses in Pennsylvania.

GLI in the News
I was
a medical librarian in Southern California for a long time. In 2006, when I
moved to New York and started at the regional medical library, I was very
impressed to see that HSLANJ was a leader in group licensing. I had not
experienced that in California and I think they serve a very important
purpose. The networking and education is good, but having access to the
Group Licensing Initiative and its purchasing power is vital to medical
librarians. I think the HSLANJ GLI is a model for medical librarians
throughout the country.
