Special Collections in ARL Libraries



I'm posting this on behalf of ARL staff.

ARL Announces...

Special Collections in ARL Libraries: Results of the 1998 Survey
Sponsored by the ARL Research Collections Committee
By Judith M. Panitch
Research and Special Projects Librarian
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Until this survey, no systematic data had been collected on special
collections in ARL libraries for nearly 20 years. This survey provides a
snapshot of special collections at the end of the twentieth century. The
data from this survey not only supply information for local decisions
about special collections, but also identify areas for further
investigation.

The survey reveals that the status of special collections in ARL
libraries is generally positive. Special collections constitute a vast
and varied resource, and the overall trend is one of growth. However,
some areas of concern remain.  This unique volume not only provides the
survey results (including 45 tables of data), but also explores these
concerns.
