The Northern New York Library Network Collection Development Grants, administered through the New York State Coordinated Collection Development Aid (CCDA) program, are designed to strengthen the collections of academic libraries in Northern New York. The goal is to enhance the depth and breadth of library resources available for regional resource sharing, ensuring that patrons from member libraries have access to a wide array of materials. Grants may be used to acquire print, electronic, and reference materials, including periodicals and databases, provided these resources are accessible for interlibrary lending or on-site use by patrons of other member institutions. The program underscores an ongoing institutional commitment to collection development and collaboration across the region.
