Academic Libraries Consortia Higher Education Library Administration Library Associations Library Collection Development Library Cooperation Library Networks Library Surveys Questionnaires Research Libraries Shared Resources and Services Tables (Data) Trend Analysis This survey was conducted to discover how extensively ARL (Association of Research Libraries) libraries are involved in formal, active programs of collaboration for collections management. Seventy ARL libraries completed a questionnaire focusing on all collections formats and a number of related collections management activities. Results indicated that 83% had a collaborative collections management (CCM) relationship with another library, and 55 respondents reported that they were members of at least one consortium in which active CCM is part of the consortium's program. The most common form of collaboration was in materials acquisition, followed by preservation agreements, processing of materials, collection development work, and management of personnel. In general, respondents were satisfied with their CCM arrangements. A copy of the survey with tabulation of responses is provided. Representative documents from the following institutions are included: University of Arizona; Boston Library Consortium (BLC); Latin America North East Libraries Consortium (LANE); Latin American Studies Consortium of New England (LASC); University of Kentucky/University of Tennessee Information Alliance; North East Research Libraries Consortium (NERL); TriUniversity Group of Libraries (TUG); Association of American Universities (AAU)/ARL Global Resources Program (GRP); and Research Library Cooperative Program. A flyer summarizing survey results is included. (DLS)
