Colgate University Libraries News and Events

The Center for Research Libraries will purchase ten valuable microform and reprint collections through  this year’s Purchase Proposal 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. Through the CRL Purchase Proposal Program, libraries nominate microform and hard copy collections for CRL purchase. Participation in this cooperative purchase program is one of the benefits of a CRL membership.

The results of this year’s CRL Purchase Proposal Program
 are now in. Under this program, Members, including the Colgate Libraries vote on microform and reprint collections for CRL to acquire. This year CRL will purchase nine new microform collections, including the Israeli newspaper ha-Arets; Popular Literature, Fiction, and Songs in Imperial Russia; and Early Printed Books on Religion from Colonial Spanish America (left), for a total list price value of $151,200.Click here to see the full list.
