My responsibility at this conference is "to review all known main instances of such cooperation (between libraries of different types) in the past and in the present, with a critical evaluation of their results, to present a projection of what you think might be the next steps to take in this direction."

The potency of the melding of the terms cooperation, between types of libraries, and technical services requires some awareness of the ingredients before a comment can be made concerning the effect of such a melding. It seems appropriate, therefore, first to formulate some definitions, and then to survey statewide centralized processing services and state library involvement in action and as anticipated through some of the recommendations and plans being made.

Special libraries exist in every environment, hence if I define them too broadly, there is no group other than themselves with which they may interact. However, it is obvious that for systems planning purposes, whatever we do about academic and public libraries benefits branches within them that are considered under some definitions to be special libraries. Therefore, I have set these on the "other" side, and have defined the special libraries on which this essay will focus to be those that exist in business, industry, government, museums, societies, and non-profit research agencies. It is in this group that we find several types which are constrained by their parent organizations from responding to normal techniques of promoting cooperative activities, and for examination their isolation should prove useful.

I need only mention interlibrary loan, centralized cataloging, personal use of reference, bibliographic records of holdings among groups of libraries, and agreements on planned joint acquisition of resources, including one among three large libraries in Chicago that is dated 1895. I do not know when the first book was exchanged between libraries in the United States, but I do know that the February 1913 issue of Library Journal carries an article on interlibrary loan that asks how long larger libraries can continue to carry the load of requests from smaller libraries without some compensating return. 1 Illinois began to answer the question half a century later by passing state legislation providing payments to designated reference and research centers. The early literature does not use the word cooperation as much as we do now, but the term may well apply in its purest meaning to the spontaneous, informal sharing of resources that was fairly common by the turn of the century. For a considerable period, libraries in cities, towns, schools, colleges, and universities were hard pressed to keep up with immediate and mounting local demands, Following this came a considerable lull in concrete cooperative projects among libraries. A man trying to keep his own boat afloat does not have much time to engage in squadron maneuvers with others, but a man who realizes he is destined in time to sink alone, does look around for help.

My task is to discuss briefly intergovernmental relations as they relate to libraries in Illinois. My job assignment is in the Illinois Office of Intergovernmental Cooperation. This agency is a relatively new venture for the state of Illinois and was originally established by Governor Kerner in 1965 and subsequently strengthened by Governor Shapiro.

The Institute theme focused on "Cooperation Between Types of Libraries." The conference was supported by the Illinois State Library through funds made available under Title III of the Library Services and Construction Act, as amended in 1966. Illinois librarians representing various types and sizes of libraries were invited to the conference. An attempt was made by the planning committee to have the various regions within the state represented by librarians from the various kinds of libraries located within the several regions. The committee was most interested in creating an environment for interaction among these librarians in order to stimulate greater local cooperative efforts among types of libraries. A related objective was the desire that the beginnings of a state plan for library services in Illinois would emerge. Library cooperation --Congresses
