The Learning Resources Standing Committee (LRSC) of the Council of Instructional Affairs (CIA) is concerned with preserving the learning resources in Florida community college libraries. We also believe that it is important to protect and preserve the repository of any materials that aid to the cultural development of a community. In this spirit, we compiled an online list of resources and helpful guidance for preventing the destruction of these collections.
