MSCS retention policies published

Now available on the MSCS website is the retention scenario one which contains the criteria for the approximately 1 million titles MSCS libraries are committing to retain.

Also available is the Maine Shared Collections Cooperative Memorandum of Understanding which MSCC libraries are currently in the process of signing. The MOU provides a mechanism by which the materials designated under the agreement will be retained and made available to participating institutions and the residents of Maine as long as the need for them exists, thereby allowing participating libraries to consider withdrawing duplicates of these items from their respective collections and to rely with confidence on access to the retained copies.
