shared print programs are not the principal selection criterion for our deselection projects. We will now also offer loans
to other programs in PAPR.
We are in a pilot program for shared print monograph retention in our state consortium. Locally, our main goal for this
project is to reduce print collections, but the consortia has a broader goal of analyzing past purchases to inform future
collection decisions.
We aspire to a stronger role in shared print &a reduction of unnecessary duplication in a large system.
We have also engaged recently in deselection of print (paper and microform) government documents and other
collections without regard to shared print commitments, based solely on WorldCat representation of widespread
holdings availability and online access. So deselection is also proceeding without respect to participation in formal
shared print programs. Hence the answer of 0 for deselection within the last year because of participating in
shared print.
We have deselected material on the basis of Ithaka’s What to Withdraw tool, with the understanding that other regional
consortia in Canada had agreed to preserve print copies of these titles, and print copies were also available at the
University of Alberta and University of British Columbia libraries, which have both indicated their intent to preserve their
print journal runs.
