NYS Coordinated Collection Development Grant Received

Roberts Wesleyan College, along with ten other Rochester Regional Library Council (RRLC) institutions, receives funds from the NYS Coordinated Collection Development Aid (CCDA), administered on behalf of the NYS Library. This program promotes regional coordination of collection development in academic libraries by providing grants based on enrollment conditions. These conditions include constitutional eligibility to receive state aid, membership in a library council, and full participation in interlibrary loan/resource sharing programs. Roberts Wesleyan College receives over $5,300 toward purchase of library materials that can be loaned or used by patrons of the other libraries in the consortia. The RRLC Coordinated Collection Development plan includes responsibility for the Golisano Library to purchase materials in the Health Administration and Social Work subject areas.
