Collections: University of California Libraries’ Release Shared Print RoadMap 2014-2018

From a California Digital Libraries Blog Post:

The University of California Libraries recently adopted a roadmap for UC shared print activities for the next few years.
Key projects and policies that our libraries will pursue and explore include:

• Coordinated print serials archiving to UCs two Regional Library Facilities and a deduplication service

• A retrospective shared print monographs program

• Coordinated digitization and print retention of State Documents

• Disclosure of UC shared print collections in union catalogs such as OCLC WorldCat and PAPR using the OCLC Shared Print Metadata Guidelines

• Revision of UC Libraries’ “persistence policy” to support extramural partnerships

• Assessing existing shared print policies and projects and making adjustments to them

In addition, UC Libraries are exploring a coordinated digitization and print retention program for federal documents.
The RoadMap 2014-2018 outlines the activities the libraries will pursue to advance the system’s strategies and goals for print collaboration described in the Shared Print Strategic Plan 2013-2018.
Under the aegis of the CDL collection services, UC Shared Print coordinates collaborative activities amongst the libraries of the ten campuses of the University of California and with extramural partners
