Problem statement: Print collections remain vital to the mission of the research library. But few libraries can continue to commit the bulk of their space to warehousing books and bound serials. As collections become more digital, as individually owning a comprehensive collection in any subject area becomes less feasible, and as libraries increasingly become centers for collaboration and social activity rather than storehouses packed with shelved volumes, managing print collections efficiently becomes more essential and increasingly difficult. Many libraries are teaming up to meet this challenge via collaborative approaches.
Current landscape: We live in a world where:
RLG Programs Partner institutions are almost universally invested in these issues, or are about to be. But we are all over the map as far as where we are or how we're approaching them.
There are a number of identifiable "breeds:"
Attendees included examples of most "breeds" (some institutions belong to more than one category). We profited from hearing discussion of various approaches to collaborative collection management, whether those approaches are similar to our own or radically different. We benefited from learning about the successes of our peers, from the identification and frank discussion of the obstacles to management of shared print collections, and from a half day spent swarming over those obstacles with the force of our collective expertise and creativity.
