CARLI has revamped its collections program for 2008 a bit and it is now called the Collections Enhancement Awards Program. The Program will continue to be funded at $250,000, the level established for the fiscal year 2007 Program. In addition to procedures you may be familiar with from previous years, there is now a required statement of intent due on December 1; one member of each proposed project must attend a proposal writing workshop in December 2006; each participating institution must have its library director sign an acknowledgement form; a required long term assessment/evaluation of the project must be described and completed; and each proposal should address the theme of "Access and Collections that Keep Pace with Curriculum and Technology."
