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.
