SUBJECT: California Library Services Act Targeted One-Time Grants for Catalog Record
Enrichment
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)& BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the County Librarian to accept a grant from the California State Library for $10,000 to enrich
and enhance the public library catalog records.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The state will match, dollar-for-dollar, local funding for the grant project up to $10,000, for a total of
$20,000 for the grant project. Local funds equal to at least 100% of the state funds granted must be
spent, as well as the state funds, by June 30, 2001. The $10,000 in local funds is budgeted in the
approved County Library Budget for 2000-01.
BACKGROUND:
The Library of California directed that California Library Services Act Statewide Data Base funds be used
for targeted one-time matching grants for enrichment or enhancement of public libraries' catalog records.
The County Library has a need to enhance its records, and will greatly benefit from the proposed
enhancement service. The grant will allow the County Library to improve public and reference services
and increase resource sharing by ensuring:
✓ Accuracy and consistency in the on-line catalog
✓ Uniformity of main entries, subject headings, and cross-references
✓ An upgrade of unauthorized headings to current, authorized forms
The project will be implemented in April 2001 and completed by June 30, 2001.
