No explicit goals
Not known at this time, it’s dependent on how many libraries join in the future.
On a project basis, but we can’t predict the number of titles.
Planned high-density storage facility will house 5.2 million volumes and will probably be filled within 7 to 10 years.
Possibly. We have not yet identified our next collection.
Under development currently working on distributed print retention of American Psychological Association journals.
Unknown
We do not have a title count, but the title/volume ratio is very small because of the nature of these materials. For the
remaining two years of the pilot we will ingest materials to fill gaps in holdings and in categories of primary materials,
but we expect this to be a relatively small quantity.
39. Are there plans to acquire more print resources collaboratively in the future? N=21
Yes 9 43%
No 12 57%
If yes, please quantify to the extent possible. N=9
Collaborating on Oxford University Press pilot that includes acquisition of one shared print copy.
More cooperative collection development is one of the long-term goals of the project, but no discussions have happened
yet. We are still working through the first phase of the project.
MSCS partners Colby, Bates, and Bowdoin already have a shared joint library collection development program.
No plan yet.
Probably another 50,000 volumes. This will depend on how we choose to expand the collection after the pilot program
ends, assuming the project continues.
Separate project from the last copy project is a print patron driven acquisitions project.
UC Shared Print is not actively pursuing cooperative collection development agreements for print (prospective shared
print) in the near term, but we have a toolkit available to bibliographers, and they occasionally put forward proposals.
Unknown, to the extent that local budgets will allow.
We are exploring a Five College Print DDA program.
