The work of the Ibero-American Science & Technology Education Consortium (ISTEC) in developing information technology and digital library manpower will be discussed, focusing on the organizational arrangements and processes that proved most effective in bringing researchers, engineers, computer scientists and librarians together to act on this vision. The Library Linkages (LibLink) Initiative of ISTEC will be analyzed in detail, especially the best practices to ensure regional cooperation in information delivery and in sharing expertise in digital initiatives.
