Members of a Swiss, Austrian and German network of health care libraries planned to build a collaborative articlenreference database. Since different libraries were cataloging articles on their own, and many national health carenjournals can not be found in other repositories (free or commercial) the goal was to merge existing collections and tonenable participants to catalog articles on their own. As of November, 2010, the database http://bibnet.org containsn45,000 article references from 17 libraries. In this paper we will discuss how the software concept evolved and thenproblems we encountered during this process.
