- The Higher Education Act, Title II-C Program: Strengthening Research Library Resources. A Ten-Year Profile and an Assessment of the Program's Effects upon the Nation's Scholarship. Streit, Samuel Allen Academic Libraries Case Studies Cataloging Federal Aid Financial Support Higher Education Library Collection Development Library Networks Longitudinal Studies Microreproduction Music Online Catalogs Preservation Research Libraries Shared Library Resources The aim of this study is to trace how the Title II-C program has facilitated scholarly access to research materials across the United States. It is intended to give evidence of the importance of the Title II-C Program to libraries' efforts toward developing, preserving, and sharing their resources with the nation's scholars. The study consists of two components. Part 1 is a series of brief profiles presenting data pertaining to program funding by Congress, i.e., the number and size of grants awarded; the nature of institutions receiving Title II-C funding; the distribution of projects among the program's three primary funding priorities; and the geographical distribution of the 360 grants awarded between 1978 and 1989. Part 2 consists of 22 representative case studies, 11 of which illustrate the scope of project activity within the three program priorities--bibliographic access, preservation, and collection development. The remaining case studies describe the cumulative contributions of Title II-C funded projects to a single academic discipline: music. Two appendices describe the award process and highlight several issues and questions that merit additional consideration. The report concludes with a glossary of library and information science acronyms. (MAB)
