Conscious coordination
Map values January 2011
* largest concentration of library resources in North America * duplicates 65-92% of other regional collections (2011)
Bos-Wash collective collection = 27.9 M print book titles (Jan, 2013)
Harvard occupies important role in larger HE and academic library system
Harvard alone accounts for at least 25% of regional print book collection; ~15% of North American collection
ARL print book collection: 33M titles

simultaneous participation in cooperative efforts operating a multiple scales ?
11
Conscious coordination
• Stewardship roles within and “above” the institution
• Increased reliance on data-driven decision support
• Management infrastructure emerging (slowly)– PAPR, WEST collection analysis, WorldCat
• Whether existing, emerging consortia offer adequate coordination capacity is still an open question
12
RESOLVED:
That the Harvard Library will be among those to uphold a stewardship mandate for the print scholarly & cultural record.
13
Not if, but how
• Conscious coordination of stewardship roles within the Harvard Library system
• Multi-scalar strategy of engagement with ‘above campus’ partners: HathiTrust, Ivies Plus, disciplinary efforts (MedPrint, PALMprint, etc.)
• Direct consultation with faculty, students, alumni and library staff on pace and prioritization of preservation strategy
