What is the Collection Management Initiative (CMI)?
The CMI is a two-year research project funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. From October 2001 through September 2002, selected print journals in UC libraries for which electronic access is available through the California Digital Library, will be temporarily removed from the shelf. During the study, researchers will rely primarily on the electronic versions of these journals. However, if a researcher needs to consult the print version, the volume will be temporarily brought back for use or a photocopy may be provided. Usage data will be gathered, and researcher experiences and preferences will be assessed. View the project proposal. Why have journal volumes been removed from the library shelves? The campus is participating in a grant-funded research project to study user behavior and preferences when selected print journals also available in digital form have been relocated to storage. As part of the research study, we will gather usage data for both the digital and print version
