PARTICIPANTS THROUGH THE YEARS

The Cooperative Collection Management Coordinating Committee (CCMCC) administers funds provided through the Illinois Board of Higher Education to support cooperative collection management projects. The Committee sponsors acquisition programs focused on a variety of subject areas.

Since 1985 a variety of cooperative acquisition projects have brought together libraries from across the State to work together to work towards an outstanding State Collection in Illinois. The committee prides itself on the amount of cooperation between large universities and small colleges, private and public institutions, and special and public libraries.
