Shared Print Collections Working GroupNote: This group dissolved in July 2008. MissionThis working group was convened in December 2007 to advance the work originally begun under the auspices of the North American Storage Trust, to develop a common understanding of the inter-institutional agreements necessary to promote cost-effective management of legacy print collections. The committee was charged with compiling and synthesizing policy documentation for shared print collections so that common requirements might be identified. A sub-committee was formed to undertake a policy review exercise, which culminated in a report that was shared at the ALA Annual Conference in June 2008. Having fulfilled its charge, the committee was dissolved in July 2008. A final version of the policy review report is available: Roster
This working group is staffed by RLG Program Officers Constance Malpas and Dennis Massie. Mode of operation: The Shared Print working group met via teleconference on a six-week cycle. A collaborative project space (restricted to members of the working group) was used to support joint work and project tracking. Occasional physical meetings were scheduled in conjunction with major conferences. Work accomplished:
