About CI-CCI
The library directors of Central College, Drake University, Grand View University,
Grinnell College and Simpson College announced the formation of the Central Iowa
Collaborative Collections Initiative (CI-CCI) in the summer of 2013. The directors
signed a Memorandum of Understanding to formalize the initiative. The group met
again in early August to begin to develop print retention scenarios.
CI-CCI has four immediate goals:
First, to responsibly reduce the size of local print collections by reducing duplication
among the participating libraries so that library space may be freed up for other
uses.
Second, to create and maintain a distributed, shared collection of these titles to
ensure that circulating copies of them are retained within the group.
Third, to coordinate acquisitions with the goal of developing a shared collection
among the participants to reduce duplication and to leverage acquisition funds.
Fourth, to establish an environment where exploration and additional areas of
collaboration can flourish.
By launching this shared print initiative, each library can free space for more
pressing local and institutional needs such as student study space, learning
commons, classrooms, etc. A key component of this initiative is a focus on
developing a shared collection development approach to allow the
participants to make better use of acquisitions dollars. For many items it will
eliminate the need to duplicate book purchases within the group since the
collections will be shared. This will allow the libraries to offer a greater depth of
materials. Additionally, the collaboration lays the framework for more targeted future
collaboration among the participants.
