History of the COI

 

The Special Collections Community of Interest (SC COI) grew out of discussions by the BLC Board in 2012 and 2013. The Special Collections Working Group was appointed in 2013 and in 2014 the COI was formed. The first COI meeting was Nov 10 2014. The aim of the COI at that time was defined thus: The SC COI will continue to explore options for developing consortial resources, programs and processes that support preservation of and access to BLC members’ Special Collections as well as identifying collection intersection that could benefit from collaborative projects, along with any other topics of common concern to the COI members.
