CI-CCI Update

CI-CCI Update
The Central Iowa – Collaborative Collections Initiative group of libraries are moving forward toward their goals of print collection preservation and access.

A consulting group, Sustainable Collections Services, was hired to perform the group data analysis. . Each library is assigned to “retain” titles that can be readily shared with other CI-CCI libraries as requested.

The next phase of this project will engage faculty at each institution in a potential withdrawal of titles identified in this process. At Drake, Rick Lugg of Sustainable Collection Services, Rick Lugg will facilitate this discussion with Drake faculty on February 18 at 4pm in the Cowles Library Reading Room.

CI-CCI will soon begin planning the next phase of the project which relates to collaborative collection development, processes that will allow the group to make acquisitions purchases more effectively.
