Introduction

PUL strongly encourages its staff to pursue and participate in grants, inter-institutional initiatives, and campus collaborations that support its mission, vision, and priorities. Whenever these activities require the allocation of significant library resources such as  as staffing, IT infrastructure, supplies, and sustainability, it is imperative that the Library LSC evaluates their viability, sustainability, and desirability before any formal commitments are made. The proposal process outlined in this document is designed to ensure that all initiatives of this type are thoroughly evaluated and, to guarantee that the Library will be in a position to successfully fulfill expectations.
