Collaboration for Shared Print Collections: Vision, Mission, and Principles
This collaboration between HathiTrust, CDL, and CRL aims to enhance access to shared print collections, promote equity in scholarly resources, and leverage networks for collaborative infrastructure. The vision includes embedding shared print in library collections, enriching the scholarly record, and supporting research and teaching. The mission focuses on integrating shared print into collection lifecycles to shift the paradigm. Key principles include leadership, transparency, responsiveness, public good, and inclusion, with a foundation of community needs for sustainable infrastructure and metadata quality.

CDL, CRL & HathiTrust Collaboration June 26, 2020 Heather Weltin, HathiTrust Alison Wohlers, California Digital Library (CDL) Amy Wood, Center for Research Libraries (CRL)
Why This Collaboration? "Like CDL and CRL, we ve long been committed to community-focused work on shared print, and, like them, we ve become attuned to the need for deeper alignment among our many different regional networks so that we can ensure sustained future access to research collections. Working with CRL and CDL won t make this less hard, but I believe our collaboration brings together complementary strengths that we can use for the community's benefit." Libraries have long known how to harness the power of collaboration through consortia; and when consortia partner with each other, libraries realize the benefits of collaboration at scale. I am thrilled to have HathiTrust, CDL, and CRL partnering to shape the next phase of shared print. To my mind, it s the right group of academic partners, working on the right topic, to leverage the opportunities of the present moment. Looking back on our present crisis, I d like to be able to say that we didn t just work harder to win the future, but that we learned how to work smarter. We re intentionally creating a broad coalition that can go further on Shared Print issues than we each could on our own. I m committed to this community-anchored work. -G nter Waibel Associate Vice Provost & Executive Director, California Digital Library -Greg Eow President of the Center for Research Libraries -Mike Furlough Executive Director of HathiTrust
What Is Our Vision? The future of print collections is shared. - Embedding shared print within the lifecycle of library collections - Promoting equity of access - Enriching the scholarly record - Increasing opportunities for research and teaching - Realizing the full potential of our networks and their collective collections through collaborative, well-developed infrastructure
What Is Our Mission? Full integration of shared print into the lifecycle of collections in order to shift the shared print paradigm.
What Are Our Principles? Leadership Transparency Responsiveness Public Good Inclusion
What Are Our Assumptions? The collaboration recognizes that the community needs: support for cross program and library collaboration interoperability between systems benefits for the shared print community and the larger library and scholarly research community support for decision-making regardless of format sustainable infrastructure a transparent, credible business and governance model metadata quality and completeness that enables us to answer the most important questions
Quick Wins: Possible Projects Last Copy. Facilitate agreement on defining last copy and guidelines for identifying and retaining them (facilitative, analytical; six months) Priority Titles. Define a model for identifying lists of priority titles (e.g. CRL critical corpus) (analytical, facilitative; six months) Add Monographs to PAPR. Add monograph retention data to the Print Archives Preservation Registry (PAPR) (development; twelve months) Collection Comparison. On the fly collection comparison tool based on input identifiers.
