| contents | Cooperative Preservation Efforts of Academic Libraries. Occasional Papers Number 174. Bello, Susan E. Academic Libraries Books Cooperative Programs Financial Needs Higher Education Library Materials Library Planning Long Range Planning National Programs Preservation Research Libraries This paper analyzes the major national plans for preservation programs in the United States from 1954 to 1985 and shows the extent to which aspects of these plans have been achieved by academic libraries. Plans presented to and commissioned by the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) between 1954 and 1972 are examined; the formation of the Research Libraries Group (RLG) is discussed and major documents related to its purpose and its preservation program are analyzed; and the evolution of a national preservation program in the 1980s is traced by a review of national conferences concerning preservation as well as the major reports and activities of ARL and the Council on Library Resources (CLR). It is concluded that, because of the size of the universe of materials requiring treatment, the need to foster the idea of a "national collection," and the need to develop new managerial and financial capacities, preservation presents major difficulties for academic libraries in the years ahead. References are provided, and an index facilitates location of material. (Author/KM) |
