Describes the history and evolution of the Kentucky Library Network from an independent, not‐for‐profit organization to a membership‐based, state‐operated organization. Covers some of the key points of transition in this process and describes an evolving philosophy of inclusion and expansion. Notes the somewhat unique connections of Kentucky’s library services community with nonlibrary organizations as examples of how KLN Inc. has developed connections with mainstream information resource‐sharing activities in that state. Includes breakdown of current membership and cost‐sharing elements to illustrate how this networking structure operates its financial base.
