- The Periodical Bank Through 1969 and the First Fiscal Year Annual Report. Revised Edition. Woods, Julia A. College Libraries Cooperative Programs Library Collections Library Cooperation Library Networks Periodicals Shared Services Twelve colleges incorporated under the Associated Colleges of the Midwest (ACM), began a library cooperative program to establish a Periodical Bank. The prime purpose of the Bank is to provide college students and faculty access to a larger number of periodicals than could be provided by their individual libraries. Under the proposed plan, each ACM library was to sell paper backfiles up to a total of $50,000 which would be assigned to the Service Library and Periodical Bank, $440,000 of the total $500,000 would be used to purchase commercially available periodical backfiles in microforms. The libraries, on the average, have doubled their periodical holdings through the Bank, at a fraction of the cost each would usually incur for such acquisitions. (MF)
