1.b. Pursue Shared Collections, with Alliance…explore at regional level. Include strategies for preserving “best, last” copy. ….statewide, regional or national collections….. Pat smith, Chris Sugnet
Many existing collaborations • Prospector catalog for central access to state resources/seamless interlibrary loan • Consortial purchasing to share titles/obtain larger discount • Alliance • CLIC • Minitex (higher ed & U. Minnesota) • CSU system purchasing with Pueblo • GWLA
Current Priorities/next steps • Alliance (via Shared Collections Committee) • Pilot project to share approval plan—to reduce print copies in state (ceased) • E Book project with EBL under negotiation (high) • For better discount and to share titles purchased among members • Taskforce for “Last, Best print copy” established (medium) • Use Prospector to identify unique titles/583 field to record • Concepts in R2 report/shared purchase plan raised
Current Priorities/next steps cont. • Colorado Documents Redundancy project/reduce duplicate documents (medium) • GWLA (low) • Identification of publishers for print journal archive (last copy) • ADR’s?? • Other consortia taking responsibility for journal archives (low) • National Preservation efforts via Portico/Lockss/Clockss –CSU participates (high)
Difficulty/External Factors • Consortial deals breaking up due to economy, publisher pressure • Libraries fearful of losing local control of collections/faculty pressure • Vendors/publishers reluctant to allow sharing of e books via ILL or among membership • Collaboration requires legally binding agreements
Future collaborations? • Expand collaboration with Global CSU & CSU-Pueblo? Joint Discoverability—Summon? • Explore purchase plan via Alliance? Based on areas of strength? • Create single-project consortia of peer institutions? • Expand role/function of RAPID, e.g., to include last print copy record of journals? • Other?
