UCSD LIBRARIAN IS PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
FOR $670,000 MELLON FOUNDATION GRANT

Brian E.C. Schottlaender, university librarian at the University of Californian, San Diego serves as principal investigator for a $670,000 grant recently awarded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to the University of California.

The grant will enable a two-year study to explore how scholars and libraries can best integrate and preserve collections of scholarly journals that are published in both print and digital formats.

Schottlaender, who chairs the new UC standing committee on Collection Management assigned to integrate study findings into university policy and practice, noted that "Research library collections that comprise print and digital resources present substantial challenges and promising opportunities. The libraries of the University of California look forward to working with the Mellon Foundation in our collective effort to home in on the right ‘mix’: print and digital, challenge and opportunity."
