Progam MOU

In 2012-2013, the Steering and Collections Committees discussed a collection analysis for VIVA. A group of potential pilot participants was constructed from a survey about this project that went out to the Collection Development contacts at all of the VIVA institutions in Spring 2013. The resulting Monograph Collection Analysis Pilot has included the main (non-health, law, etc.) libraries at twelve institutions across VIVA. An MOU for rare and unique monographs was approved by the Committees on August 8, 2014. An MOU for widely-held monographs was approved by the Committees on December 11, 2014 and put into operation in June 2015.
