About Us – Mockup

Who We Are

By launching this shared print initiative, each library can free space for more pressing local and institutional needs such as student study space, learning commons, classrooms, etc. A key component of this initiative is a focus on developing a shared collection development approach to allow the participants to make better use of acquisitions dollars. For many items it will eliminate the need to duplicate book purchases within the group since the collections will be shared. This will allow the libraries to offer a greater depth of materials. Additionally, the collaboration lays the framework for more targeted future collaboration among the participants.
