Abstract: This paper discusses GAELIC (Gauteng and Environs Library Consortium), a regional consortium of South African higher education libraries with the vision of creating a virtual library by linking together autonomous libraries via networks. Topics covered include: (1) GAELIC objectives; (2) selection of INNOPAC as the common library system for GAELIC libraries; (3) VAT (Value Added Tax) exemption; (4) connectivity, including the telecommunications network, Internet connectivity, and links to an INNOPAC union database; (5) implementation of Phase 1--conversion by six libraries to the new automated system; (6) resource sharing; (7) cataloging task group; (8) formal agreements; (9) strategic partnerships with UNINET (i.e., the academic network in South Africa), SABINET (South African Bibliographic and Information Network), and FRELICO (Free State Libraries and Information Consortium); and (10) benefits of belonging to GAELIC.
