  • 1.  New research analyzes shared print retention data to support collective collection stewardship

    Posted 24 days ago

    OCLC and the Partnership for Shared Book Collections collaborated to produce a data analysis of monograph print retentions registered in OCLC WorldCat.  This research examines the impact of shared print over the past decade and helps identify priorities for moving forward. Stewarding the Collective Collection: An Analysis of Print Retention Data in the US and Canada maps the current state of the shared print ecosystem and illuminates risks and opportunities to provide essential baseline operational information to the field and inform future collection development decision-making. This research highlights the successes of shared print and can help libraries identify opportunities for strategic growth, improve metadata quality, and ensure the sustainability of shared print initiatives.
