COMMITTEE ON INSTITUTIONAL COOPERATION
CIC Shared Print Repository MOU
noticeably incomplete, damaged or otherwise compromised items-- from
PARTICIPATING CIC LIBRARIES or other sources as efficient operations
permit. For content ingested from other source libraries, HOST SITES will
perform secondary validation to ensure that the content received matches
updated and supplied holding records, and will likewise attempt to fill-in gaps or
replace incomplete or seriously damaged volumes.
d) While volume level validation is recommended for the broadly distributed journal
backfiles being addressed in the initial phases of this project (Sect. 8c above),
the STEERING COMMITTEE (with input from the WORKING GROUP on
Collections) might recommend or mandate more vigilant review and validation
protocols for some other categories of content likely to be treated in the future,
provided that the added costs for this level of review are accommodated in the
project budget.
e) All content stored on behalf of the CIC will be represented by standard
bibliographic records, and all physical volumes will be represented by an item
record.
f) HOST SITES will carry out standard preservation review, and treatments will be
applied at ingest to maximize the shelf-life of stored content and avoid any
contamination of proximate resources.
g) HOST SITES will develop routines to disclose REPOSITORY holdings to
PARTICIPATING CIC LIBRARIES and others within or beyond the CIC who
might benefit from knowing what content has been secured.
h) HOST SITES will assure that duplicate serial volumes are not ingested unless
explicitly directed to do so by the GOVERNING BOARD, or the STEERING
COMMITTEE acting on behalf of the GOVERNING BOARD.
i) HOST SITES will develop the capability to make print content—or suitable
surrogates-- available to constituents of PARTICIPATING CIC LIBRARIES in
accord with policies and principles developed by the STEERING COMMITTEE
and/or GOVERNING BOARD.
9. Assessment
PARTICIPATING CIC LIBRARIES, with administrative direction provided by the
STEERING COMMITTEE, will review the SHARED PRINT REPOSITORY initiative in
the fourth year of the project, and then every five years subsequent to that to monitor the
ongoing value and efficacy of the program to member libraries.
10. Amendment
This MOU may be amended at any time by a two-thirds vote of the GOVERNING
BOARD, provided that such amendments are consistent with the obligations the
PARTICIPATING LIBRARIES, CIC, and the University of Illinois (as fiscal agent) have
incurred as a result of this MOU.
11. No Partnership or Agency
This MOU is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to create a partnership or otherwise
authorize joint action for any purpose except as specified herein. No party shall act as
agent or representative of any other party except as authorized in accordance with this
MOU.
