Subject: Is your library a member of CRL?
Sender: Mary Larsgaard <[log in to unmask]>
Is your library a member of CRL (Center for Research Libraries)?
NOTE: see appendix one of this email if you aren't sure,
for a list of CRL policies concerning acquisitions, and a list
of all CRL libraries.
Larry Cruse (University of California, San Diego) has come up with the
excellent idea of those of us who are members of CRL libraries
confabulating via
email, on an email reflector, about what spatial-data sets we believe to be
appropriate
purchases by CRL, and then each doing our best to talk our library
into supporting that purchase when it comes up
for a vote by CRL. (In my library, this means I'll need to be
talking with the Associate University Librarian for Collections
fairly soon, to let her know what we have in mind.)
Purchase requests go in during the fall of each year, so this would
be a low-traffic reflector (probably no-traffic except during the late summer
and fall of each year).
Even better - Larry has agreed to have the email reflector run by his library.
If you are interested in participating in this, send an email to Larry at:
[log in to unmask]
by JULY 16, 1999.
with Subject line: CRL
Larry tells me he'll try to have the email reflector set up by
some time this week.

Appendix I
Cooperative Collection Development at the
Center for Research Libraries
The reason why the Center exists is its core program of cooperative
collection development. The program functions by centrally collecting,
maintaining and delivering scholarly research materials so that the members
avoid the
costs of acquiring those materials locally. This also makes available to
scholars
materials that otherwise could be unavailable. The members work together
through the instrument of a collection development policy at the
Center, which describes the materials for which the Center takes
responsibility.
The Voting Members maintain and revise the collection development policy
and insure that the staff has the means to apply the policy.
Recommendations for changes in the collection development policy may be
initiated from any
membership category; however, only Councilors may vote on amendments
brought to the council of Voting Members. The policy provides several
components for adding materials to the collection, including purchases,
exchanges, deposits, purchase proposals and demand purchases.
One of the components of the collection development policy is the
acquisition
of major microform and reprint sets selected through the purchase
proposals
process. A proposal for purchase of a set that costs more an $1,000,
forms a
coherent unit, is not readily available for loan from five or more Center
members, and does not consist of certain proscribed materials is sent
to all
Voting Members and other purchase proposals participants. Purchase of
the set
is authorized when a majority of Voting Members and other participants
vote
affirmatively.
While there is no added cost to Voting Members, participation in purchase
proposals is available to Associate Members for an added annual fee. A
member has access to all materials acquired through purchase proposals
even
when it does not select voting participation. Most Voting Members annually
avoid tens of thousands of dollars of purchases of these materials.
Associate
Members report that each year the acquisition of at least one or two
sets is
sufficient to justify the annual fee.
There are three categories of materials eligible for demand purchase in
response to an interlibrary loan request. These are foreign dissertations;
retrospective files of a newspaper to which the Center currently
subscribes;
and archival material in microform that records the activities of a
national
government. The Center will acquire such materials for the use of a
patron,
thereby relieving the member library of the costs of acquiring,
cataloging and
storing an item that may be only a portion of a set or is outside local
collection
development policy.
The heart of the Center's cooperative collection development program
is its
collection which forms the basis for cooperative collection development
throughout the membership. The Center currently holds nearly five million
bibliographic volumes and over 1.3 million microform units. Because all
members cooperatively own and maintain these collections, a member's
library resources are increased by these materials.
The Center's collections are carefully managed to complement and
supplement
the collections of major North American research libraries. For larger
institutions, this reduces their need to collect materials that are
infrequently
used. For smaller institutions, this provides access to materials that
would otherwise be unavailable.
Current Members of CRL
CRL members are classified as Voting Members, (composed of the largest
research universities and libraries), Associate Members (institutions and
organizations which do not meet the Voting Member criteria) and Affiliate
Members (organizations with a special relationship to CRL). Group Members
participate in CRL through their membership in a consortium which has
entered
into a special agreement with the Center. Currently, there are two
organizations
that hold Affiliate Member status in CRL: OCLC and The Association of
Research LIbraries.
