ELISA is a network of Edinburgh-based libraries and information services that strive to work co-operatively to improve services and resources for users.

There are over 130 libraries and information services in Edinburgh working in all sectors and many having a national or international remit. The unique benefits of ELISA are:
- the full exploitation of the Edinburgh context as a local scenario and as a capital city
- The focus on practical outcomes
The practical outcomes include several projects that aim to deliver practical benefits to library service users. These include:
The Edinburgh Libraries Passport scheme
The Edinburgh Libraries Guide
