The questions that were asked was; What kind of guidelines and goals is there for their resource sharing? And how does it look in connection to services and media? What kind of strategy is there that apply to all libraries in the collaboration? Which challenges, if they have occured, have been encountered and how did they work through them? The theoretical framework consist of Kaufman, P(2012) theory about how a successful collaboration is built up, Kanter, R. M(1994) theory on how a rewarding collaboration is similar to human relationship and Rowley, J(2011) theory about innovative strategies within libraries. The method that was used to collect material was in the form of interviews and supportive dokuments. Five informants were interviewed. This study concludes that the libraries within Bibliotek Norrbotten have created common goals when it comes to their resourse sharing and that their resourse sharing is linked to these goals. The goal is to have the users in focus, which can be seen in the end result, and to offer a higher library service. This study also shows that for the collaboration to achieve their goals and to improve the library service, the collaboration has developed common strategies and guidelines.
