ALCTS- Preconference
Shared Print Monographs: Making It Work
Thursday, June 27, 2013, 8:30 am – 4:00 pm
Event Code: ALC1
To date, shared print programs have focused largely on journals. Initiatives from WEST, CIC, ASERL and others have demonstrated the savings, efficiency and collection security possible through structured collaboration.
Monographs pose a different challenge. Books far outnumber journals, and each title-level decision yields little space. New tools and approaches are evolving to make shared print programs work for books. Using case studies and commentary, this session will highlight the characteristics of successful shared monograph initiatives.
