Libraries and the organizations that provide services to them are
devoting more attention to system-wide organization of
collections—whether the ""system"" is a consortium, a region or a
country. As a strategy for saving space and money while expanding
access to additional materials and resources, the value of shared
collections is indubitable. This collected volume from the
Association of Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS)
spotlights the histories and experiences of several collaborations
at academic libraries. Contributors share winning strategies for
intentional decision-making in developing and managing shared
collections, both print and digital, with expert guidance such as:
analysis of six consortia case studies, ranging from giants like
CIC and CARL to regional collaborations like the State of Maine and
Manhattan research libraries elements to address in a memo of
understanding among participating institutions risk assessment
methodologies that enable institutions to focus local resources
where they will provide the greatest return; and costs to
anticipate for budgeting, such as collection analysis, space,
validation, transport, staff, and administration . With practical
advice on issues such as governance and business models, demand
driven acquisition, rare works, and access, this monograph is a
valuable resource for academic library directors, administrators,
and collection development leaders.
