The CODES/STARS Cooperative Collection Development Committee would like
to invite you to the following program at the upcoming ALA Annual 
Conference in Washington, DC.

Cooperative Monographic Collection Development - Recent Trends
CODES/STARS Cooperative Collection Development Committee
Saturday, June 23, 2007
1:30-3:30 - REN Renaissance Ballroom East

Libraries have a long, but only moderately successful, history of 
attempts at cooperative collection development of monographs. With a 
record of success in sharing access to electronic resources, and with 
improved technology for discovery and delivery of print resources, 
combined with ever shrinking budgets, now may be the time for success 
in these ventures. This program will present the experiences of five 
groups of libraries in sharing monographic collection responsibilities.

Speakers: 

Kathryn M. Crowe, Associate Director, University Libraries, UNC 
Greensboro - Introduction and historical overview. 
Julia Gammon, Head of Acquisitions Department, University of Akron 
- Recent developments in cooperative collection development of
monographs 
in OhioLINK. 
Ewa Elizabeth Barczyk, Director, University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee 
Libraries - Cooperation within the UW System, specifically a study to 
identify degree of duplication of monographs between libraries. 
Eric Pumroy, Director of Library Collections, Bryn Mawr College - The 
Tri-Colleges Shared Approval Plan, a pilot project. 
Michael Levine-Clark, Collections Librarian, Penrose Library, University

of Denver - The Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries Shared Purchase 
Plan, a pilot project to control duplication of monographs. 
Susi Seiler, Head of Technical Services, Alvin Sherman Library, Research

and Information Technology Center - Cooperation between public and 
academic institutions in one library.
