CMPG provides system-wide collections management, coordination and strategic planning to support the curricular and scholarly information needs of the Dartmouth College community. CMPG advises and reports to the Associate Director for Information Resources.
The group's members have a broad, system-wide perspective on collections, in-depth knowledge of the information needs of Dartmouth's academic communities as well as a broad understanding of issues and trends in scholarly communication and the tools and technologies we use to build, manage and provide access to collections.
As a planning group, CMPG stays current with new and emerging collections trends, and takes action on these where appropriate within the Dartmouth College environment. It develops strategies and action plans for short and long term collection development and management, including fiscal and institutional sustainability.
CMPG will charge working groups or individuals as needed to accomplish projects, to explore new areas, to develop new programs, and to facilitate information sharing, communication and problem solving.
CMPG will coordinate its work as necessary with relevant library groups.
