“…Other CCD initiatives emerged in more recent times. For instance, academic librarians sought frameworks for consistent, intentional collaboration around collection development activities related to regional and national cooperation on legacy print collections ( Kieft & Payne, 2010 ; Kieft & Reilly, 2009 ). Some librarians advocated for using emerging technological developments to create systems and partnerships for increasing access to information, whether locally owned or not ( Hazen, 2010 ).…”

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.

“…In recent years the Center for Research Libraries has led several professional meetings investigating the future of shared print storage in the US, with a particular focus on moving beyond stores operating at the state or regional level and towards some form of national system. The discussions of a meeting convened in Chicago in July 2009 were reported by Kieft and Reilly (2009), who recorded that "models for and pieces of a comprehensive collective approach to print library collections exist around the country"; and that "The next step will be to reach consensus on the information, tools, standards, services, business arrangements and policies that are needed to create and sustain a national program of print preservation" (107). It was envisaged that this program would have a place for academic, independent and public libraries.…”

This article undertakes a review of the literature related to shared print storage and national repositories from 1980-2013. There is a separate overview of the relevant Australian literature. The coverage includes both relevant journal literature and major reports. In the process the article traces the developments in the theory and practice of shared print storage as the rapid emergence of digital content and services became apparent. This includes the increasingly broad-scale that has emerged in the planning for future print storage. Note is also taken of the paucity of research based evidence, and the discrepancies between the literature representing the interests of professional bodies with supra-regional responsibilities and the (sometimes) lack of activity or engagement by managers of individual collections.

This paper reports on a study of the holdings of a single discipline (Design) by a single institution (RMIT University Library) in order to test for the possibility of a form of distributed national storage in Australia. The study was undertaken using OCLC Collection Analysis software and the WorldCat database. The collection of RMIT University Library is compared with two "groups" of libraries, the first consisting of seven Victorian academic library collections, and the second of three Melbourne-based non-academic libraries considered to have strong Design collections. Conclusions indicate that for this discipline a form of distributed storage is already in place, with the RMIT University Library collection making a considerable and complementary contribution to the state-wide holdings.
