Center for Research Libraries to Purchase Ten New Collections

December 14, 2011 by Gary Price

From a CRL Announcement:

The Center for Research Libraries will purchase ten valuable microform and reprint collections through this year’s Purchase Proposal Program, with a list price value of $339,469. These sets will soon be available through interlibrary loan from CRL.
Many major microform and reprint sets and collections can be too costly for individual institutions, and are not readily available through interlibrary loan.

Participation in this cooperative purchase program is one of the benefits of a CRL membership.
