Multi-Volume Sets Project (MVS) ARCHIVE: Required Cost-Sharing

Applicants must make the following commitments:

• Institutions with less than $10,000 annual Japanese acquisitions budgets must cover 20% of the purchase price of the awarded sets (from approximately $200). Shipping and handling costs will be fully covered for those applicants.
• All other applicants must cover either 25% or 50% of the purchase price as determined such by the MVS Committee, and full shipping and handling costs (including insurance and any other charges).
• An order must be placed for the awarded sets to Japan Publications Trading Company, Ltd. (JPT) within one month of award notification.
• Full-level cataloging including Sino-Japanese original script of the awarded sets must be created in WorldCat no later than June 30, 2013.

Each MARC record should contain the following note in the MARC 500 field: "NCC-funded title; to be lent locally and nationally according to normal ILL procedures. |5 [MARC institution code]" Replace “MARC institution code” with the institution's actual code; e.g., 500 NCC MVS-funded title; to be lent locally and nationally in accordance with normal ILL procedures. |5 PPiU  .  MARC institution codes may be found at http://www.loc.gov/marc/organizations/org-search.php.  Note that MARC institution codes are not always the same as the OCLC holding symbols.

• The awarded stets must be labeled as part of the MVS Collection, and circulate freely locally on-site and nationally through interlibrary loan.

Full compliance with cost-sharing and cataloging guidelines is required.  Any deviation from those rules may result in an institution’s not being considered for MVS grants in a subsequent year.
