Two copies of the man­ ual and application forms will be sent to the president of each institution. For infor­ mation purposes, one copy of the manual also will be sent to the head librarian. The manual contains policies and procedures relating to the college library resources program. It includes information regarding basic, supplemental, and special purpose grants; the u ses for which these grants are authorized; institutional eligibility; the per­ missible number and duration of grants; required institutional commitments; ap­ proval and funding level of applications; application procedures; award procedures; grantee accounting, record maintenance, and reporting procedures. If the president of an academic institu­ tion does not receive the forms by February 28, please contact: Mr. Ray M. Fry, Di­ rector, Division of Library Services and Educational Facilities, U.S. Office of Edu­ cation, Washington, D.C. 20202. In completing the applications please note the following; 1. Amendment to the Maintenance-of-Ef­ fort Requirements under Title II A, Higher Education Act of 1965, Section 202 (a) and (b), 203(a)(1). In order to meet the maintenance-of-ef­ fort requirements for basic and supplemen­ tal grants, the applic a n t institution will ex­ pend (from non-federal funds) during the fiscal year for which the grant is requested for allowable library purposes an amount at least equal to the average annual amount it expended (from such funds) for allow­ able library purposes during the two-year period ending June 30, 1963, or during the two fiscal years preceding the fiscal year for which the grant is requested, whichever is the lesser; and also the applicant insti­ tution will expend (from non-federal funds) during the fiscal year for which the grant is requested for allowable library materials an amount at least equal to the average annual amount it expended (from such funds) for allowable library materials dur­ ing the two-year period ending June 30, 1965, or during the two fiscal years pre­ ceding the fiscal year for which the grant is requested, whichever is the lesser. This change applies to basie and supple­ mental grants but does not apply to special purpose grants, when only “the two-year period ending June 30, 1965” is used for expenditures. 2. Matching Funds. a. Basic Grants: In order to meet match­ ing requirements the applicant institution will expend (from non-federal funds) dur- 26 ing the fiscal year for which the grant is requested, an amount equal to not less than the amount of the grant (Sec. 202 (a) (2) of the A c t). The application form will indicate where to include the matching funds. b . Supplemental Grants: No matching re­ quirements (Sec. 203 (a) (1) of the Act). c. Special Purpose Grants: In order to meet the matching requirements, the appli­ cant institution will expend (from non­ federal funds) during the fiscal year for which the grant is requested for the same purpose for which the grant was awarded (library materials) an amount (from such funds) equal to not less than 33/3 per cent of the amount of such grant (Sec. 204 (b) (1) of the Act). The same matching funds cannot be used twice. 3. Supplemental Grants. a. In order to receive supplemental grants, the applicant institution must apply for and be eligible to receive a basic grant in excess of $1,500 during the same year of application. b. Be careful to read the evaluation in­ formation properly. The footnote provided in the manual for total volumes is impor­ tant. For example, rising the percentages, the junior colleges having up to 1,000 stu­ dents and the following number of volumes in its collection would receive these scores, using 20,000 volumes as a basis: Score (b ) 5,001 to 10,000 volumes 3 (c) 10,001 to 15,000 volumes 2 (d) 15,001 volumes or m o r e 1 These figures would be higher as the stu­ dent body increases. 4. Special Purpose Grants. a. There is no limit in the amount re­ quested for special purpose grants. b. In order to apply for a Type C grant, the applicant institution must apply as a member of a combination of institutions and not in the name of the combination, since grants can be awarded only to those insti­ tutions of higher education which grant degrees. The date of notification of the award of grants will be published in a later issue of “CRL News.” (Continued on page 40) JUNIOR MEMBERS AND ACRL One junior member of ALA and ACRL will be appointed to serve on a number of ACRL committees, beginning in July 1967, as a result of action taken by the ACRL Board of Directors at their Mid­ winter meeting.
