6. Scholarly record is evolving Increasing volume of content Increasing diversity, complexity of content Increasing diffusion, distribution of custodial responsibilityof Stewardship models are evolving Greater attention to system-wide context Increasing specialization, formal division of labor Deepening reliance on resource sharing networks Parallel Trends Interdependent repository infrastructure: print, digital, open, commercial print, digital, open, commercial

7. Collections as a service Collection directions

8. Owned Catalog Available LibGuides, etc Licensed KB/Discovery Global Google, ResearchGate, etc … Separation of discovery & collection: Focus shifts from owned to facilitated (available) Focus shifts from collection to other services (creation, …) System-wide thinking becomes stronger.

The ‘owned’ collection The ‘facilitated’ collection The ‘licensed’ collection The ‘borrowed’ collection Pointing people at Google Scholar Including freely available e-books in the catalog Creating resource guides for web resources Purchased and physically stored A collections spectrum The ‘demand-driven’ collection The ‘shared print’ collection OCLC Research, 2015.Figure: A collections spectrum.

10. Shared Print Collection directions

11. 11 Shared Print ‘Right-scaling’ management of print resources, shift to above-the-institution strategies Opportunity costs of maintaining institution- scale operations are high Early efforts focused on journals (low risk, high return); attention shifting to monographs Goal: increase operational efficiencies for managing print, enable strategic redirection of library resources

14. Collection Directions Then: Value relates to depth and breadth of local collection. Now: Value relates to system-wide curation of and access to print collections – ‘right-scaling’. 14 Decision support through shared data.
