- Guidelines on Library Twinning. Doyle, Robert P., Comp. Scarry, Patricia, Comp. Contracts Cultural Exchange Cultural Pluralism Developing Nations Exchange Programs Foreign Countries Librarians Library Cooperation Shared Resources and Services This document serves as an overview of the many forms of library twinning, or formal exchanges of materials and/or staff between two institutions. Twinning can be reciprocal, but often involves a one-way arrangement whereby a library in a developing country receives a visit from a librarian of a developed country. Either way, both institutions can benefit from exposure to another culture. The document provides an overview of the benefits and history of library twinning, tips for implementing a binding agreement, and examples of twinning programs. Appendices include a sample request for a twinning partner, prototype memorandum of agreement, addresses and phone numbers of sister city/twinning organizations, an annotated list of book donation programs, samples of staff exchange programs, and a glossary of acronyms.
