Transforming Big Ten Libraries through Shared Print Collections and Collective Action

Aspiration for a tremendous vision to unite Big Ten university collections into one shared and fully networked "BIG Collection." This initiative aims to increase findability, usability, and value at scale while deepening interdependence and resilience for an uncertain future. The Knowledge Commons will be inclusive, collaborative, durable, and trustworthy, supporting access to a total pool of knowledge for the public good. Through distributed stewardship, added value is shared through strategic investments in the collective collection, providing users with enhanced access and experiences. Community development and stewardship agreements are key to building and implementing this transformative shared collection.
