Shared Regional

Information about the Shared Regional Agreement between the UVA and UNC-Chapel Hill Libraries

In October 2019 the University of Virginia Libraries and the library at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill signed an MOU to become the first Shared Regional collection across state lines in the FDLP program.  The new shared regional arrangement with UNC Chapel Hill will allow both libraries to have more flexibility as their collections grow and space constraints become an issue. 

A selection of documents will be available in the Government Documents Reading Room in Shannon Library, but the majority of the collection will be held in off-site storage.   UVA patrons can access and request Government Information materials through our online catalog, Virgo, and other libraries are welcome to request these documents through Interlibrary Loan.  While we are excited about the flexibility and collaboration opportunities this Shared Regional agreement provide, Regional Library relationships and responsibilities in each state remain the same as they have in years past, with each Regional supporting the selective depositories in their own state.
