“…As an answer to this pressing problem, especially during times of economic crisis, a number of research libraries are taking their collaborative efforts to a new level and are embracing the idea of developing shared print repositories, which will allow participating libraries to share maintenance costs and guarantee the accessibility to a print copy of a journal at any given time (Howard, 2009). Similarly, O'Connor andSmith (2008) evaluate the current state of library space needs and conclude that "shared institution depositories are being considered more often, as libraries . .…”

“…Due to the limited nature of space in libraries, where print sources are sharing valuable space with learning environments and technology rooms, off-site storage collections have become lifesavers for many libraries as they strive to fulfill their mission of meeting every user's information needs while preserving the scholarly content of collections (O'Connor & Smith, 2008). Furthermore, as the print journal becomes less important as an information source and falls into the category of low-use materials, off-campus storage facilities have become a more realistic option for libraries (Ludwig & Starr, 2005).…”

In Florida, the State University Libraries deans have chosen to take a two-pronged approach to addressing limited physical capacity in their facilities: developing a statewide storage facility and deduplicating print serial titles. The initial efforts in the state have focused on titles included in the Journals in Storage electronic collections. Specifically, the collaboration between the University of Florida and Florida State University is the focus of this article. The background information, efforts made, lessons learned, and jobs still to be done will each be given more attention, with the intent of providing a starting point for other institutions considering similar initiatives.

It has been well documented that the emergence of a stable body of electronic text is transforming the utility of legacy print collections in academic libraries (Schonfeld, 2009 ; Kieft, 2012 ; ARL, 2012). This is certainly true for journals and increasingly appears to be affecting the management of monograph collections as well (Lavoie and Schonfeld, 2006; Demas, 2012). Combined with pressure for the repurposing of space in university libraries, and the acceptance of online reading by researchers, this shift is pushing collection managers toward consideration of historical print collections on an entirely new scale (Lavoie et al., 2012; Malpas, 2011). As the authors of the ARL statement on 21 st Century collections put it, "Twenty-first-century collection management will therefore require increased collaboration within and among institutions...A multi-institutional approach is the only one that now makes sense" (Association of Research Libraries, 2012, p. 1). The Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries (COPPUL) is a consortium of 23 university libraries in the four western provinces of Canada. Spanning 1.1 million square miles yet with only 10 million residents, the region's vast geography has been a driver for cooperation. In 2011, after several years of planning and study, 19 member libraries responded by forming the Shared Print Archive Network (SPAN) in our region. The origins of this program have been documented elsewhere (Bird and Ashoughian, 2012; Wong, 2012). This paper focuses on how SPAN fits into larger national and global frameworks of related activity. Looking at current developments in Canada and the US, as well as the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong, we explore the possibility of increased international exchange among such programs in various jurisdictions. Environmental Scan-Canada & North America There are now many shared print programs in the US that illustrate a variety of approaches. The Western Regional Storage Trust (WEST) is among the most mature of these, and encompasses 109 libraries in 18 US states, many participating through regional consortia.
