Following the approval of a 2011 ballot initiative calling for the development of a distributed print monographs archive, HathiTrust charged a Print Monographs Archive Planning Task Force in the spring of 2014 to make initial recommendations for a print monograph retention program that would serve both members and the broader scholarly community. After working extensively between June 2014 and March 2015, the Task Force submitted a report that summarizes its recommendations with respect to the composition, phased construction, operating systems, business model, and governance of the HathiTrust Shared Print Monograph Program (HTSPMP). In supporting appendices, the report offers greater detail that implementation teams may find useful.Ope
