Association of Libraries of Czech Universities

The main objectives of ALCU are as follows: - to represent academic libraries during negotiations about State Information Policy and the national library system; - to advocate for university libraries and facilitate their negotiations with information providers in order to improve opportunities for cost-efficient purchase and licensing of electronic information resources; - to provide a platform for collaboration and partnership in various areas of interests on both national and international levels. ALCU has become a key player not only in the area of Czech higher education, but in Czech librarianship in general. It is an important partner for producers and providers of information and communication technologies and information resources as well. In the future, the Association of Libraries of Czech Universities would like to broaden its activities and to find partners for cooperation in the international context.
