Informal Agreement Between the Victorian Department of Agriculture and
the Western Australian Department of Agriculture to Maintain Collections of
United States of America (State and Federal) Agricultural Publications
The Libraries of the two Departments of Agriculture (Victoria and
Western
Australia) have reached an informal agreement to rationalise our
collections of agricultural publications of the US states.
Each state has agreed:
- to hold and maintain the agricultural publications of a range of US
State agricultural experiment stations (see attached
list);
- to collect current material from their designated states as far as
the resources of each Department permit;
- to forward material received in the future from states which are not
maintained to the other Department;
- to advise NUCOS/ABN of
holdings for material within each library's care;
- to advise the other library of any additional US titles added to
their collection in future;
- should either library decide to dispense with their US collections,
the other library should have first option on the collection.
An appendix lists the US state which each
Department has agreed to hold. A smaller list of US states will be held by both
Departments.
