SPEC Kits
Supporting Effective Library Management for Over Thirty Years
Committed to assisting research and academic libraries in the continuous improvement of management
systems, ARL has worked since 1970 to gather and disseminate the best practices for library needs. As part
of its commitment, ARL maintains an active publications program best known for its SPEC Kits. Through
the Collaborative Research/Writing Program, librarians work with ARL staff to design SPEC surveys and
write publications. Originally established as an information source for ARL member libraries, the SPEC
series has grown to serve the needs of the library community worldwide.
What are SPEC Kits?
Published six times per year, SPEC Kits contain the most valuable, up-to-date information on the latest
issues of concern to libraries and librarians today. They are the result of a systematic survey of ARL
member libraries on a particular topic related to current practice in the field. Each SPEC Kit contains an
executive summary of the survey results survey questions with tallies and selected comments the best
representative documents from survey participants, such as policies, procedures, handbooks, guidelines,
Web sites, records, brochures, and statements and a selected reading list—both print and online sources—
containing the most current literature available on the topic for further study.
