CSU/UC Collaboration
Why are we doing this?
Reciprocal agreements with the UCs are inconsistent with courier stops paid for by CO. Some UCs charge CSUs for borrowing even though the CO pays for their courier stops. Reciprocal agreements and a shared courier agreement would increase lending and borrowing traffic with the UCs and greatly improve turnaround time for physical materials. Those that charge the CSUs would no longer do so, saving the CSUs money.
Goals:
Establish reciprocal agreements for physical materials between all CSUs and UCs
Establish a shared courier agreement between CSUs and UCs
Foster a collaborative relationship between the CSU libraries and the UC libraries
