This research analyzes the cooperation among libraries of IFCE as an alternative for improving information services by the perception of librarians and campuses directors. Though case study method, it is shown the current panorama of cooperation among libraries located in three different cities from State of Ceará, Brazil, namely, Juazeiro do Norte, Crato and Fortaleza. In doing so, it was investigated some aspects related to library cooperation such as use of technological resources, the existence of 14 library services that could reveal cooperation actions if it is developed by the participants, and, finally, personal views about the necessity of cooperation. It is believed that the participation of campuses directors were an opportunity to understand the macro-level library cooperation in IFCE. The main findings suggest that there is no effective and formal cooperation works (even between the libraries closer by distance). On the other hand, it is realized that participants have a positive perception of the respondents about cooperation as a factor of library services quality.
