"CAP Begins"


The Collection Management Department is pleased to announce 
that it has undertaken the Association of Research Libraries' 
Collection Analysis Project.  This self-study project is 
designed to assist academic and research libraries in 
assessing the value of their collection management programs 
and policies.

The NCSU Libraries' Collection Analysis Project, which began 
March 20, 1992, and concludes mid-December 1992, will be 
divided into three phases.  The first phase of CAP will gather 
information on current and past environmental trends and 
collection management issues.  It will conclude with an 
interim report identifying specific areas of additional study.  
During the second phase of CAP, task forces involving both EPA 
and SPA staff will be formed to address these areas of study.  
The task forces, each led by a member of the study team, will 
formulate recommendations and prepare reports for their 
topics.  During the final phase of CAP, the study team will 
incorporate the task forces' recommendations into a final 
report, to be presented to the director of the Libraries.

The CAP study team is led by Margaret Hunt (head, Collection 
Management).  Its members include John Abbott (associate 
head, Collection Management), Ronnie Pitman and Orion Pozo 
(Collection Management), Carolyn Argentati (head, Natural 
Resources Library), Nancy Gibbs (associate head, Acquisitions), 
and Eric Morgan (systems librarian).  The study team will be 
assisted by Claire Braxton (Collection Management), who will 
act as the team's resource person.
