Collections Management
Limited space and the maintenance of aging library collections are urgent concerns of
many CARLI libraries. Over the years, many academic libraries have accumulated print
materials that are no longer relevant to their curriculum or to the research interests of
their respective communities, and yet libraries are reluctant to de-accession these
materials.
The CARLI Last Copy Project seeks to preserve the last copy of monographs within the
Illinois academic and research library community. This project allows any CARLI library
that seeks to withdraw a "last copy" monograph to donate it to another CARLI library
that will retain the title for resource sharing in Illinois.
Currently, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) serves as the initial
recipient of the monographs submitted to the Last Copy Project. Materials that the
UIUC does not want or cannot house are offered to other interested Illinois research
libraries. Items that are not accepted by a library participating in this project remain
with the original owning library to keep or discard the items at their discretion.
Complete a simple web form to initiate the process.
