History
The Latin America North East Libraries (LANE) was established in July 1993 to promote and facilitate collaborative projects and resource sharing efforts for Latin American studies library resources and to enhance communication among members. The group evolved from the expansion of “New York-METRO”, a long-standing cooperative group of four institutions in the New York metropolitan area.
