Dear colleagues, 

        At a previous institution, I had a document (article?) that
listed the various Carnegie institution classifications along with
guidelines as to what sorts of library collecting the libraries at those
institutions should be doing. For example, a doctoral/research
institution would be gathering everything in their research areas, while
a Bachelor's institution would not be collecting to support faculty
research at all. I can't find this thing now, of course. I've tried
Library Lit, ERIC, the internet, and even the Carnegie Foundation
itself. Do any of you know where I might find this?

Thanks, 

Julie
