PAIR: a cooperative effort to meet informational needs.
St. Joseph Mercy Hospital organized a cooperative association of area institutions (the Pontiac Area Instructional Resources group: PAIR) in order to (1) promote a forum in which to exchange ideas and information on software used for learning materials and hardware for using such materials, (2) provide a resource library system to lend such learning materials, and (3) cooperatively produce such learning materials for use in member institutions. In less than one year of cooperation, a union list of serials and a union list of software for the area have been produced. A forum has been created in which ideas and information can be shared, and a sound/slide program has been produced.
