management are unlikely to differ by discipline, the reaction of stakeholders (including collection development librarians
and faculty researchers) may indeed vary by subject, so it seemed prudent to create at least some topical variety within
the pilot. The American Chemical Society and the Institute of Physics were the other journal families that were part of
this program.
We believe this is the only repository of its kind to focus on a single discipline. PALMPrint is not strictly an archival
project, although we expect actual use of the collection to be low and thus we view it as a gray archive. However, the
collection is available for use by participating libraries, and we will have a user interface available in 2014 to enable
librarians and researchers to discover and use the materials. Items can be delivered to the requesting library by shipment
via common carrier or they can be scanned and delivered electronically where appropriate. An onsite reading room also
provides direct access if needed.
UC’s Shared Print program includes multiple projects, prospective and retrospective, and for many publication types and
formats (journals, monographs, microform, art slides). Some collections are built as shared collections in one of two
shared Regional Library Facilities (storage facilities) and some collections are retained in place and actively managed
at specific libraries (e.g., Springer monographs and monographic series). Some examples: Shared print for licensed
content collections—prospective—one print issue is included in our license agreements for ejournals with some
of the major publishers. EEBO—prospective—microform acquisition. Springer monographs—prospective. Shared
print monographic series—prospective—held in place. UC JSTOR Shared Print Archive—retrospective. UC’s WEST
archives—retrospective. IEEE archive—retrospective.
