Shared Print Repositories

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?
• Useful workflows and logistics 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! 

Who Should Attend?

Librarians involved with print preservation, collection management, collection development, print repository managers and anyone with an interest in this topic can benefit from this session and is welcome to participate.

What is an e-forum?

An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free. See a list of upcoming e-forums at: http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/e-forum.

To register:

Instructions for registration are available at: http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/e-forum/sympa. Once you have registered for one e-forum, you do not need to register again, unless you choose to leave the email list. Participation is free and open to anyone. If you have any problems, please contact alcts-eforum-request@ala.org.
