This is a very impressive list Randy.

>From your list, I like MI-SPI, and MAPI, though neither of these really role off the tongue.

While I really like MALICE and MICE, I'm not sure these are the acronyms we want to associate with our program…

Here are a couple others to add to the list:

Collective Collection in Academic Libraries of Michigan (CCALM)
Michigan Collective Collection Initiative (MCCI)
Shared Print Initiative in Michigan Academic Libraries (SPIMAL)
Michigan Academic Library Collective Collection (MALCC)

I like the idea of being able to use the phrase "stay calm", but think Collective Collection in Academic Libraries of Michigan is a mouthful!

As we discovered in yesterday's webinar, MALSPI doesn't really roll off the tongue. So here are some alternatives:

Michigan Shared Print Initiative (MI-SPI) or just Shared Print Initiative (which Julie used to good effect during the call)
Michigan Collection Action Program (MI-CAP)
Michigan Academic Library Collection Initiative (MALCI)
Michigan Collection Development Program (MCDP)
Michigan Academic Library Trust (MALT)
Michigan Academic Print Program (MAPP)
Michigan Monographs Initiative (MMI)
Michigan Academic Library Initiative for Collection Enhancement (MALICE)
Michigan Initiative for Collection Enhancement (MICE)
Michigan Collection Action Trust (MI-CAT)
Collection Action in Michigan Academic Libraries (CAMAL)
Shared Print Program (SPP)
Michigan Print Initiatve (MPI)
Michigan Academic Print Initiative (MAPI)
Michigan Shared Print (MSP)

That just about exhausts my creativity. I tried really hard to make TULIP work but couldn't come up with anything remotely sensible.
