Description

The establishment of the California Digital Library in 1997 extended the concept of "resource sharing" from access to and delivery of materials between campus collections to the development and deployment of an explicitly shared Universitywide collection, the shared digital collection. The further development of shared Universitywide library collections, in all formats, is coming to be viewed as an essential strategy to enhance the collections and services that each UC campus library makes available to its faculty and students.

Status

A paper on Shared Collections is under review by SOPAG's All Campus Groups.

Responsibility

ULs, SOPAG (Strategies for shared collections are also charged to the CMPG Steering Committee.)
