The Electronic Core Collection (ECC) is a portfolio of core library educational e-resources acquired by Systemwide Digital Library Content (SDLC) with funds from the Office of the Chancellor on behalf of all CSU campuses. Campuses do not contribute any of their own funds to the purchase of ECC e-resources. The e-resources contained in the ECC are selected byShared Resources & Digital Content (SRDC) committee and approved by Council of Library Directors (COLD).
Opt-in e-resources are also negotiated and acquired by SDLC on behalf of campuses. However, the Chancellor's Office does NOT pay for opt-ins using its own funds. Each campus chooses whether to “opt-in” to the available subscriptions and pay using their own local funding. This collaborative acquisition of library resources allows the CSU system of libraries to leverage their buying power and minimize their administrative expenses.
