"CAP Update"


The second phase of the Collection Analysis Project (CAP) 
ended October 9, 1992.  The six task forces have completed 
their reports, covering collection management issues related 
to materials funding and allocation; collection policies and 
assessment; preservation; organization, communication, and 
staffing; resource sharing; and the impact of emerging 
technologies on libraries of the future.  Each task force report 
contains recommendations for the improvement of these vital 
collection management concerns, potential costs involved, as 
well as a timetable for implementation.

During CAP's last phase, the study team will prepare a final 
report presenting an implementation plan for changing the 
Libraries' collection management practices.  This final report 
will incorporate the major sections of the Interim Report that 
pertain to the history and description of the collection; the 
environmental forces affecting the collection; the Libraries' 
collection goals, objectives, and philosophy; and portions of 
the task forces' reports and recommendations.  The report will 
be delivered to the director of Libraries in late December 
1992.
