Title
NOBLE: North of Boston Library Exchange
Description
The North Of Boston Library Exchange (NOBLE) is a cooperative effort of 28 area libraries founded to improve library service through automation. Seventeen public library members, ten academic libraries and one special library are members of NOBLE.
NOBLE was the first automated resource sharing network in Massachusetts and the first on the Internet. Since its founding over twenty-five years ago, NOBLE has cost-effectively improved service to its libraries and their users through technology, in ways not possible at its inception.
Initially facilitating a shared database of library holdings, NOBLE was founded to improve library service by streamlining the identification and sharing of needed library resources among member libraries. In addition to managing and adding value to a shared library automation system, services have grown to include shared electronic resources, particularly group access to online periodical databases. NOBLE also provides a gateway to other Internet resources and resources provided by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, the Northeast Mass. Regional Library System and other regional library systems.
