This guide supplements other resources created by the ACRL EBSS Curriculum Materials Committee which provide guidance on the management of CMC services, collections, facilities, personnel, and more. The updated version of guidance on the management of CMCs and collection development are included below.

Editions of the directories are linked below. If an online version it is included, otherwise the link directs to WorldCat to allow easy identification of a nearby library with a print copy.
