Use of print library collections is shifting from
physical circulation to digital reformatting and
screen delivery. Does this shift suggest a
continuing role for physical collections or does
their screen delivery inherently suggest print
disposal? Recent technologies of print-on-demand
will be evaluated from a preservation perspective,
interdependence of similar physical and digital
collections discussed, and preservation service
reassignment and preservation advocacy for the
continuing role of print in the context of its digital
delivery will be explored.
