Agreement on the cooperative development of access to government information
among the
University of California/Stanford Libraries

GOALS:

1. To preserve the high level of access to the most basic government documents (local, state, Federal, foreign and international) guaranteed until very recently for scholars and students within the University of California and Stanford library communities under the auspices of the former Shared Purchase program.

2. To provide a framework for enhancing access to major collections of government information and documents (local, state, Federal, foreign and international) for scholars and students within the University of California and Stanford library communities.

Active participants in this Agreement are the member libraries of the UC Government Information Librarians group: UC Berkeley; UC Davis; UC Irvine; UC Los Angeles; UC Riverside; UC San Diego; UC Santa Barbara; UC Santa Cruz; and Stanford University.

The major microform sets containing government information on the attached list are governed by this Agreement. All active participants in this Agreement shall have expedited access to items in these sets in the form of a service copy or loan of the original. The Agreement may be expanded to include document delivery by fax and cooperative development of electronic access.

1. Each holding library agrees to negotiate funding alternatives with other libraries participating in this Agreement prior to cancellation of any set on the attached list.

2. Libraries assuming responsibility for a set agree to retain that title as an active subscription for at least 10(ten) years.

3. Holding libraries will provide expedited direct loan between government information/government documents service units for materials governed by this agreement. At the discretion of individual campuses, use of interlibrary loan services may be used as an alternative to direct loan arrangements. Ideal turnaround time for document delivery is 48 hours.

4. Individual government information librarians may make additions to the list of sets governed by this Agreement by following a two-step process. First, consult with the Collection Development Officer at the local level regarding the possibility of protecting the title under this agreement. Second, seek approval of the Government Information Librarians group.

5. Whenever feasible and appropriate, partcipating libraries agree to support as a Systemwide priority the loading of machine-readable indexes that provide access to the major microform sets governed by this Agreement.

6. Whenever feasible and appropriate, participating libraries agree to support as a campus priority maintaining local print and/or electronic index subscriptions corresponding to these major government information sources.

7. Participating libraries agree to maintain and share with the Government Information Librarians group where feasible statistics relating to the volume and sources of requests received and satisfied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
