Coordinated Cooperative Collection Development Plan
DEFINITION:
-
Coordinated cooperative collection development (CCCD),
as defined by the ALA's A Guide to Coordinated and Cooperative Collection
Development Among Libraries, is "Cooperation, coordination or sharing in the
development and management of collections by two or more libraries making an
agreement for this purpose".
GOAL:
Coordinated Cooperative Collection Development is for the
purpose of:
-
strengthening the overall collection breadth
-
overall collection depth
-
increase the number of sharable resources
-
save costs for member libraries through resource sharing.
SUBJECT AREA SELECTION CRITERIA:
-
Each participating library selects an area/areas (based on
Dewey classification) of their resource collection to develop. These would
be loanable resources and include all resource formats though emphasis is on
monographs and periodicals. The criteria for selection are:
-
An area that is currently developed above the norm in order
to respond to specific district needs. This will provide the school with an
exceptional depth of development in one or more areas.
-
An area targeted for extraordinary growth due to a
demonstrable change in the curriculum or teacher needs. This will provide
the school with an exceptional depth of development in one or more areas.
-
Areas chosen should be viewed as moving toward completion
of a system wide ‘collection’ of subject areas that are above average in
depth so that the successful resource sharing opportunities span a wide
breadth of the Dewey subject range.
SCOPE:
GUIDELINES:
-
Each school library shall choose no more than three subject
areas for collection.
-
No subject area shall be chosen by more than three
libraries unless a valid argument can be made for need for materials on all
reading levels.
-
Participants should use a collection analysis tool designed
to determine subject area strengths.
-
Participants requesting an additional subject area should
submit the request in writing to the SLS office by October 30th of the current school year for committee review. Reasons for this would be
to meet the maximum of three subject areas or because circumstances render
the current choice unfeasible, The request should include a description of
the current collection and the rationale for the change or addition to the
collection.
-
All subject areas shall be available for reassignment at
three-year intervals. The last subject revision was approved Falll of 2008
and went into effect for the 2008-2009 school year.
-
Members who have chosen subject area responsibilities and
commit to the plan can allocate funds in the 527 Library Automation CoSer
to purchase materials. The materials purchased must be in the CCCD subject
area and will be aidable.
COMMITMENTS:
-
Schools will loan the materials in their designated
subject areas to other members if loan at that time does not interfere
with the instructional needs of the school.
-
Schools are required to send MARC records for materials
purchased through CCCD to the SLS for inclusion in the regional online
catalog during the school year of purchase. Schools will need to commit
funding for that purpose.
GOVERNANCE:
-
The Elementary, Secondary and K-12 clusters shall each
choose two representatives to participate in a six member CCCD Governance
Committee.
-
The CCCD Governance Committee shall review the plan for
amendment and revision every three years.
-
The CCCD Governance Committee shall determine a process
for each three-year revision so that participants have an equitable
opportunity to select subject areas appropriate for their collections.
This process shall include the use of a collection analysis tool.
-
The CCCD Governance Committee shall revisit the plan once
a year in November to
expand the areas covered if curricular initiatives indicate it is warranted
and to examine requests from participants that need review.
-
At that time, schools who have not selected three subject
areas shall have submitted a formal request for additional areas not to
exceed three areas.
-
The School Library System Council reviews and votes on
the plan.
Note: The plan has been revisited in 1995, 1998 Revised
