Executive Director National Information Standards Organization (NISO)
The NISO Collaborative Collections Lifecycle Project (CCLP) centers on cooperative collections management, a process by which networks of institutions work collaboratively to acquire, manage, circulate, and preserve collections. The infrastructure will create best practices, improved standards, and middleware for the development and management of collective collections and will support varied implementation models, data interoperability, and sharing of expertise across a range of institutions and consortia.
This session will describe the project and actions that have been taken this year under the auspices of funding from IMLS, including NISO working groups creating a Recommended Practice, and other analysis and outputs.
