Hong Kong University Libraries

Majority of research libraries shifting toward

e-centric acquisitions, service model

Shrinking pool of libraries with mission and resources to sustain print preservation as ‘core’ operation – 25?

Licensed …An externalised resource?

More later

Consolidation of vendors

Consolidation of discovery environments

Consolidation of knowledge bases

Why shared print?

Shift in scholarly attention from print to electronic means low-use retrospective print collections are perceived to deliver less library value

Competing demands for library space: teaching, learning, collaboration vs. “warehouse of books”

Among academic libraries, a shrinking pool of institutions with mandate, capacity to support print preservation

As transaction costs for managing legacy print collections decrease, libraries will seek to externalize print operations to shared repositories
