Abstract:The primary goal of this research was to obtain understanding and valuable insight regarding the inter-organizational collaborative process. The results of this study proposed a set of stages for collaborative efforts and examining collaborative projects between museums and libraries funded by one federal agency in the United States. This research used an online questionnaire and a semi-structured telephone interview. The questionnaire investigated whether or not the proposed stages took place in collaborative projects, and the semi-structured interview requested the description of the collaborative process. The characteristics of the stages in the collaborative process were derived and conceptualized from the literature review. There were eight different stages: networking, definition, execution, relationship stage, partner's evaluation stage, common evaluation stage, conflict, 'redefinition of conditions' stage, and the end of collaboration.
