“…As illustrated by the data in Table 1 , an overwhelming majority either agreed or strongly agreed that trust among CCD participants was one of the most important elements for success. This finding aligns with the existing professional literature, where librarians have repeatedly emphasized trust among library participants as an essential element for success in collaborative endeavors ( Clement, 2012 ; Demas & Miller, 2012 ; Lehman, 2014 ; Sandler et al, 2012 ; Sohn, 1986 ; Turner, 2014 ).…”

As academic libraries continue to face acquisition budget challenges, collaborative collection development (CCD) offers greater opportunities to fulfill the core role of library collecting and collection management, namely, to provide enhanced access to the widest variety of relevant resources in the most cost-responsible manner possible. Libraries have successfully implemented CCD projects of various types, and as a result, have achieved these needed cost savings. The authors conducted survey research to investigate current CCD activities and librarians' perceptions of its benefits, drawbacks, elements contributing to successful CCD programs, and possible obstacles to success. Library collections consist of a variety of material formats and librarians have applied CCD models to maintain needed access to these resources, shifting from ownership to access, all in support of building collective collections. The survey results found that, although challenges can exist, application of CCD activities have realized substantial benefits, financial and otherwise, for academic libraries overall.

“…According to a report put out by the BTAA, previously the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), the libraries in the consortium hold more than eighty five million volumes, with print material taking up ten million linear feet, or 2000 miles, of shelf space (Sandler et al 2012). The member libraries realized that new strategies were needed in order to successfully manage these print collections.…”

Collection Management

Large-scale collection management represents not just opportunities in terms of space, budgets, and personnel but also an important responsibility for the library's ability to provide quality service and access to knowledge in the future. Libraries must address many challenges when managing collections, but by taking advantage of opportunities when presented, libraries can improve access for today and tomorrow. Using the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as an example, this article will explore how opportunities like highdensity storage, shared print initiatives, digitization efforts, and mass deduplication can address challenges facing libraries and improve current and future access to collections.

“…In 2011, the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), encompassing 11 schools across 5 states, began the development of its Shared Print Repository (SPR) to be held at Indiana University (IU) (Sandler et al, 2012). While the long term plan is for the SPR to include monographs, CIC focused initially on print journal backfiles, seeking "to retain a print copy of all titles/volumes currently held by one or more member libraries for as long as needed to support the research and instructional needs of the [CIC] universities" (Sandler et al, 2012) The purpose of a shared print archive is often two-fold, as repositories commit both to the preservation of the print format, as well as to providing access to the print content for the members or participants in the shared print archive. The two goals can be viewed as being in conflict with one another, though, as circulating the print format for use among libraries inherently puts the print volumes at risk for loss or damage.…”

How Much Do Print Backfiles Matter?

As physical collections are increasingly pressed for space, libraries continue to look at practices such as weeding and off-site storage, coupled with services like on-demand article-level document delivery, as potential space solutions. As libraries discard long runs of print journals, though, what role do journal backfiles play going forward? When many see backfiles as space hogs, is there data that provides a compelling argument for keeping backfiles of journals, and, if so, how should those backfiles be handled and by whom?
