The following collection items were submitted by LC staff to be considered by applicants as they develop concepts. Concept papers will only be evaluated by the criteria explained in Section 5.1 of the announcement. Including or not including one of the following items will not affect those concepts selected for full proposals.

Applicants interested in reviewing what other Library materials are available online can visit this page.
