Space in libraries is an increasingly valuable commodity. To respond to this problem librarians are looking for cost-effective solutions to store and provide access to large, legacy print collections. Shared print repositories have emerged as one possible solution, even as other print preservation solutions continue to emerge within the library community.
During this e-forum, we hope to stimulate discussion on the many of the different issues surrounding print archiving with an emphasis on shared print repositories.
We hope to address as many of these Topics as we can during the e-forum:
- What is a shared print repository?
- What should you look for in a shared print archiving agreement?
- How are libraries selecting material for shared print collections?
- What workflows and logistics are useful for librarians involved in shared print projects?
- What metadata is involved in shared print programs?
- What access restrictions are available for shared print programs?
- How is resource sharing addressed in shared print programs?
- What does participation in a national shared print network look like?
- What are some of the other models for print preservation?
Please join us for what we hope will be a lively discussion on this emerging trend.
