Collaborative Print Repositories: A Case Study of Library Directors' Views by Cathy Maskell, Jennifer Soutter and Kristina Oldenburg Available online 2 April 2010 Surveys library directors in the Ontario Council of University Libraries consortium regarding weeding, last copy print archiving, and the role of the consortium. Responses reveal divergent opinions but an answer lies in partnerships. Cost remains an over-riding factor and the uncertainty of future budgets make commitment to long-term planning difficult. Cathy Maskell, Associate University Librarian, Leddy Library, University of Windsor ; Jennifer Soutter, Digital Resources Librarian, Leddy Library, University of Windsor ; Kristina Oldenburg, works as a reference librarian in Vancouver, BC . Document 9 242 The Journal of Academic Librarianship, Volume 36, Number 3, pages 242–249 INTRODUCTION The academic library is a different place, both physically and virtually, than it was 10 or even 5 years ago. Students and faculty demand access to digital collections at any time and from any place. Bricks-and-mortar libraries increasingly house technology labs, multimedia rooms, group study rooms, and cafés. Often, the library is one of the main computing centers on campus, facing ever-increasing calls for adequate electrical and network connections, more computer workstations, and a wide range of printing and scanning services. 1 Developing these user spaces usually means re-purposing existing physical facilities by shrinking collection footprints, since there is rarely money for new buildings. Thus many academic libraries are undertaking large-scale evaluations of their print collections to decrease the footprint of stacks and liberate space to expand technology and service areas. With the increasing duplication of print content in digital resources, the focus of this evaluation is often on journal collections. As the size and use of digital collections increases, the use of print resources decreases, particularly print journals. With pressures on space intensifying, these journal collections are being earmarked as candidates for storage, either within the institution or in some form of collaborative facility with other libraries. This leaves librarians grappling with what storage option best fits their needs and capabilities. Cooperative efforts to maintain at least one print copy of what is available digitally present an attractive option. 2 This collaboration usually involves libraries working together to house print serial volumes duplicated in digital, providing a backup in case access to the electronic version is lost, as well as archiving a print copy in case it is needed for future research. As academic libraries recognize the need to evaluate print collections and even weed those collections to liberate space, they also have a number of concerns about the effects of such initiatives on research, learning, and teaching support for their academic communities. Issues include the reliability of digital content, how well the digital replicates the print, and the possible long-term value the print artifact may have for research and scholarship. This article presents the results of a survey of library directors regarding their respective institutions' need for wide scale evaluation of print collections. It examines their need to weed or relocate items, their views on last copy print archiving, and their opinions on their consortium's role in any cooperative or shared last-print copy initiative. 3 The institutions are members of the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL). Ontario university libraries face issues, noted in the literature review below, that confront academic libraries in locations around the world. The article begins with an overview of current issues relating to collaborative storage facilities for print collections. The literature review examines issues, practices, and context presented in scholarly articles, as well as in
