How to Locate Sources Cited in Your Search Results Using Resources in Center Libraries Most of the books, pamphlets and articles, CD-ROMs, and audiovisual resources cited in the Catalog of Nonprofit Literature are available for reference at the Center's headquarters library in New York and at its national collection in Washington, D.C.; many are also available at our three field office libraries in Atlanta, Cleveland, and San Francisco. Center libraries are open free to the public, and we do not require an appointment. You may want to contact a Center library by phone in advance of a visit to ascertain that a particular resource you want to use is available in the collection. The actual contents of the books found in Center libraries is not available online, except for some few web-based publications. In a collaboration with Indiana University Center on Philanthropy, the Foundation Center is pleased to announce the first stage of an important new initiative: delivery of full-texts of articles and other publications through The Catalog of Nonprofit Literature. We are grateful to the editors of Chardon Press for permission to launch this new effort by linking to the full-texts of selected articles from Grassroots Fundraising Journal, and we have also added links to selected articles from NonProfit Times, Nonprofit Quarterly, Contributions, and Stanford Social Innovation Review. The Foundation Center will be adding new full-text links on a regular basis. Historical annual reports issued by private foundations prior to 2000 are now available at the Foundation Center Historical Foundation Collection in the Ruth Lilly Special Collections and Archives at IUPUI. All the Center's more than 200 Cooperating Collections maintain core collections of Center publications, and most have related materials on philanthropy as well. These may be used free of charge during normal library hours, and again no appointment is necessary. Because acquisition policies vary from Cooperating Collection to Cooperating Collection, it is recommended that you call in advance to determine the availability of a particular non-Foundation Center resource before visiting a collection. A substantial number of the citations contained in the Catalog of Nonprofit Literature are to articles from periodicals available in the collections of all five Center libraries. You can make one photocopy of an individual article for your own use at any Center library. Please be aware of copyright restrictions that prohibit redistribution of such materials. The Foundation Center does not provide a photocopy service by mail.
