[Publib] integrated reference collections

[John Fossett]

Folks,

I'm trying to find out which libraries are integrating their reference
collections into their circulating collections?  Who's doing this now
and who's contemplating it for the future? Pros/Cons? Any info would be
appreciated.

Thanks,

john

Subject: a question for listserv

 

Could one or the other of you send a question out to your listserv(s)
about whether libraries are jumping on the bandwagon to integrate their
reference collections into their circulating collections?  I'd like to
know if any libraries in the northwest have already done this (or are
moving towards doing it).

 

We are going to start discussing the concept at the August CM meeting,
and I'd like to have a decision before the next budget is developed in
October.  Thanks,

 

Martha
