Late last month the libraries of the University of Missouri at Columbia and Missouri State University in Springfield began very preliminary conversations that may eventually lead to a collaborative long-term print retention program involving these two universities. Ann Campion Riley, the newly-appointed Vice Provost for Libraries and University Librarian at Mizzou, and Tom Peters, Dean of Library Services at MSU, had a phone conversation covering basic possible parameters of such an agreement. Ann Campion Riley and her staff will work on a first draft of a possible agreement, which they hope to be able to share with MSU for review and comments by the end of September.
