Public Library Classifications and FeesPublic libraries are an important community to DRAM, as they represent a natural extension of our mission to provide the broadest access to DRAM's content possible, and because they serve the needs of scholars and music lovers who may not be affiliated with an academic institution participating Participating in DRAM. In order to determine a library's classification, DRAM is indebted to the public library classification system developed by JSTOR together with the public library community. Our goal in drawing upon this system is to make classifications based upon fair and comprehensive criteria that take into consideration the varied missions public libraries fulfill, while also considering the value that DRAM participation could bring to each institution. In order to determine the DRAM classification for any public library, we consider the following three factors:
Public Library DRAM Classifications and Fees are as Follows
Large.............................800.00 per year
Medium.........................600.00 per year
Small.............................400.00 per year
Very Small...................250.00 per year
If you do not already know your institution's classification, please contact us at answers@dramonline.org and we will assist you in figuring it out based upon the criteria listed above.
