Shared Print Copies Advisory Panel
The Risk Research Working Group of the Partnership for Shared Book Collections invites your participation on an advisory panel looking at a tool for determining the number of copies of a title that a shared print consortium must commit to keeping in order to ensure the survival of at least one useable copy.
Your volunteer participation involves a one-hour small-group videoconference meeting to discuss the model plus one to two hours in advance to review written materials. Primarily, we are looking for your expertise and experience working with library collections as a reality check on the assumptions and parameters used for this tool.
We will limit the size of advisory panel groups to 7 - 10 people to ensure participants have ample opportunities for discussion. Depending on the response, we may not be able to include all volunteers, but we greatly appreciate your willingness to provide your input.
