Universitywide Planning and Action
A systemwide, strategic approach to the development of library collections and services has emphasized multi-campus collaboration, the application of new technology, and expanded University-wide sharing of the information resources within the UC library collections. All faculty, students, and staff at the ten UC campuses have access to the millions of items in the libraries' collective holdings; that is, to the largest university research library in the world.
Collaborative strategies have been successfully combined with UC's leverage as a multi-campus system of distinguished institutions to maintain high-quality collections and services in the face of rising costs and other challenges.
Systemwide planning at the University of California has resulted in:
- Expedited intercampus lending
- A shared online library catalog
- Two regional storage facilities
- A digital preservation repository
- Shared digital collections via the CDL, including:
- Licensed commercial content
- Digital versions of UC-owned content
