Project idea

We (Library Systems) had a retreat recently in another conference room -- occasionally you need to get out of the reach of day to day issues to think a bit more strategically. We noticed a "library" in the room-- boxes of journal issues-- and I wonder how many of them there are across campus? It seems like it would be a good idea for a librarian to survey departments and staff sections to see what reading material they store, organize into boxes, set up index cards to check out, etc. Some of them we may already have in electronic format-- and we may be able to facilitate TOC alerts, linking, or browsing. Some might be good candidates for library online subscriptions that would benefit many-- saving the department not only subscription costs but also the organizational efforts. I'd love to see this suggested as a grant idea.
