About the Project
The Maine Shared Collections Strategy (MSCS) brings together eight of Maine’s largest
libraries, plus the state’s consortium, Maine InfoNet, in an effort to create a strategy for
the shared management of print collections in the state.
Under this three-year project, funded in part by the
Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS),
libraries will collaborate to make decisions about the
storage, retention, and preservation of print materials
(both books and journals) as well as look for ways to
integrate digital editions into a state-wide catalog. This will help alleviate space concerns while
ensuring that users continue to have equal or greater access to the information.
The project’s goals are:
1. To develop a strategy for a statewide, multi-type library program for managing, storing
and preserving print collections among public and private institutions to achieve greater
efficiencies and extend the power of every dollar invested in collections and library
facilities.
2. To expand access to existing digital book collections by developing print-on-demand
(POD) and e-book-on-demand (EOD) services to support long-term management of a
shared print collection, and the integration of digital resources with print collections.
3. To formalize organizational agreements, establish a budget, and develop policies
essential for the maintenance of shared print and digital collections, access to them, and
responsibility for sharing them.
Activities that will aid in achieving these goals include:
Perform an analysis of the “collective collection” to identify unique items, items owned by
multiple libraries, institutional strengths, etc.
Implementation of a Print-on-Demand service
Development of a retention policy for the number of copies for each title, and for identical
print and digital titles
Development and implementation of a policy for preservation of unique and rare print
materials.

About Minnesota Library Storage
(MLAC)
The Minnesota Library Access Center is
our high-density storage facility for
Minnesota libraries that stores and
makes available important but little
used books. Unlike a library which
shelves items either by subject or
alphabetically by title, MLAC shelves
items by size. The goal is to shelve at
the highest density possible to
maximize space usage.
Capacity
Predicted capacity: 1.4 million volumes.
Current holdings :over 1,357,000 volumes (August 2009).
Space Allocation
60% is reserved for the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus Libraries.
40% is for Minnesota's academic, public and governmental libraries.
Accessing the Collection
Because the facility's shelves are 17 feet tall, books are retrieved by trained staff on
forklifts.
The collection is closed to the public. All items in MLAC are listed in MnCAT, the
University of Minnesota's online catalog along with links to request retrieval.
