**About Caltech and Caltech Library**  
The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) is a world-renowned science
and engineering research and education institution, where extraordinary
faculty and students seek answers to complex questions, discover new
knowledge, lead innovation, and transform our future. Founded by Caltech
faculty, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a division of Caltech and
is the leading U.S. center for the robotic exploration of the solar system.
For the fourth year in a row, Caltech was named the top university in the
world in 2014-15 in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
Caltech was awarded "Great College to Work For" by the Chronicle of Higher
Education in 2013.

  
Caltech's 124-acre campus is located in Pasadena, California. Home to the Rose
Bowl Parade, Pasadena is located in the foothills of the Angeles National
Forest, 10 miles from downtown Los Angeles.

  
The Caltech Library system comprises five libraries and Archives and Special
Collections. The Library's 42 staff are divided across four units that reflect
the Library's core areas of service to Caltech: Digital Library Development,
Access and Fulfillment Services, Archives and Special Collections, and
Research Services.

  
The Caltech Library helps enable the Institute fulfill its mission to expand
human knowledge through research integrated with education. The Library is
most effective when it mirrors how Caltech itself works--its ambition to take
on challenging and fundamental problems through creative, collaborative and
multidisciplinary inquiry.

  
In 2014 Caltech faculty adopted an Open Access policy, which grants
nonexclusive rights to the Institute to disseminate faculty papers. The
Caltech Library supports this policy through CaltechAUTHORS as well as
outreach and consultation on a range of scholarly communication issues. The
Library is also active in scholarly communication collaborative initiatives
such as SPARC, arXiv, and ORCID. The Library participates in a variety of
Library and standards bodies, including the Digital Preservation Network,
Digital Library Federation, Coalition for Networked Information, NISO, OCLC
Research, the Western Regional Storage Trust (WEST), and the Statewide
California Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC).
