Activating Shared Print as a Strategy for Legacy Print Access

Abstract

Article publication forthcoming in Collaborative Librarianship issue 16.1. https://digitalcommons.du.edu/collaborativelibrarianship/While most libraries participate in collaborative shared print efforts but tend only to rely on them as a failsafe, this article underscores the timeliness and importance of more libraries “activating” shared print as a core strategy for access to legacy print content. The University of Arizona’s experiences with SCELC and HathiTrust for monographs and the WEST-Internet Archive pilot for serials are discussed as examples of how libraries might choose to pursue this approach.This item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.
