Team Charter

The Barcoding Project will focus simultaneously on Collections of Distinction and collections held at off-site shelving facilities. The project will continue with collections held on-site at University Park Libraries and Commonwealth College locations as they are identified.

Goals: (1) To completely itemize serial and monographic print collections in all locations including off-site shelving. (2) To provide a comprehensive catalog to print collections in all locations.
