What is a CLIP note?

Introducing CLIPP: College Library Information on Policy and Practice

“…W hen it was initiated in 1980, the College Libraries Information Packet (CLIP) Notes program was designed to provide "college and small university libraries with stateof-the-art reviews and current documentation on library practices and procedures of relevance to them." 1 Each publication provided a short literature review and the results of a survey completed by 200 or so program participants, but the real value of the work was in the collection of policy statements and procedure descriptions created by other college and small university libraries. By offering useful documents on timely issues, CLIP Notes saved librarians time and money.…”
