The Library Services Platform (LSP) is a unified resource management system enabling California community college libraries to manage both print and electronic resources using a cloud-based library services platform. The LSP entering its fourth year of the program, and 110 California community colleges participate. This participation is in partnership with the Community College League of California (CCLC) and the Council of Chief Librarians (CCL), with oversight by the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office (CCCCO).
Each participating college has local control over functional aspects of the platform, while being able to take advantage of shared opportunities for cataloging, e-resource data, and other services. Individual librarians, librarians in work groups, and LSP staff contribute and collaborate throughout the year to support operations, practices, policies, with costs—including training and support—funded by the LSP project, with CCL as vendor for CCCCO.
The purpose of the LSP Governance Committee is to advise and guide the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office (CCCCO), the Council of Chief Librarians (CCL) and Community College League of California (CCLC) on the deployment and management of the LSP program for California Community Colleges.
The purpose of the work groups is to identify best practices, articulate ongoing needs, and make recommendations to the Governance Committee for policy recommendations to improve the LSP systemwide.
