Process To Promise: The CCM Plan

Some libraries have the resources to provide all the services necessary for entertainment, cultural, and educational development in their communities, while others are struggling to keep their doors open. Some have had their budgets frozen or cut. Others have been able to maintain a minimal amount of growth in their budgets. Regardless of circumstance, most libraries have been unable to adjust their budgets to keep up with the inflation of book and journal prices. Now, and in the future, we need to develop cooperative collection plans to address continued pressures on already strained acquisitions budgets.
