'THE NEW DYNAMIC AND ECONOMICS OF COOPERATIVE COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT' CONFERENCE CO-SPONSORED BY THE CENTER FOR RESEARCH LIBRARIES AND THE ASSOCIATION OF RESEARCH LIBRARIES, NOVEMBER 8-10, 2002

摘要

The Center for Research Libraries (CRL) and the Association for Research Libraries (ARL) sponsored this second conference at Aberdeen Woods Conference Center, Atlanta, Georgia, USA, on Cooperative Collection Development. The first conference, held three years earlier celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of CRL's efforts in cooperative collection development, where there was a call to examine ways that CRL could continue its work and respond to the needs of its members in a relevant way. Three invited papers were commissioned to spark discussion and pave the context for the conference. Each had its own flavor but, individually and cumulatively, they made participants eager to read the full papers once they are published in a summer 2003 issue of Collection Management, to be edited by Ed Shreeves.
