  Shared Storage Solutions: What Are the Issues?
  <http://www.swonlibraries.org/viewevent?id=1338>

Keynote Presentation--Lizanne Payne
Shared Library Storage and the Future of Print Collections

Most library storage facilities in use today are owned and operated by 
individual universities; only about 20% of the facilities are shared 
among multiple libraries. A number of factors are encouraging the 
development of additional shared facilities or shared access agreements. 
The time is right to develop regional or national print repository 
networks for collective management and preservation of library 
collections at the system level, while freeing shelving space for new 
materials at the local campus level.


Michael Upfold
How to Run a Storage Facility

This presentation will focus on the acquisition, implementation, and 
operation of CONStor, a 'do-it-yourself' storage facility, which is 
located in an existing facility, and is operated with minimal expense 
and staffing. The facility has been in use for over seven years, during 
which time library priorities have changed, as have the theory and 
practices regarding the storage of little-used materials. The Five 
Colleges of Ohio are also members of the OhioLINK system, so that 
developments in the larger shared system also have an effect on current 
practices and planning for the future.


Judy Ruttenberg
TRLN Single Copy Program

Members of the Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN) have 
decades-long agreements in place for print cooperative collection 
development, and a more recent portfolio of collectively negotiated 
shared electronic resources. With each member of TRLN committed to 
participation in both LOCKSS and Portico, and an off-site storage 
agreement between two major partners in the consortium, a Task Group was 
created to build a formal Single Copy serials program for the 
consortium. This presentation will focus on the development of policies 
for retention of last or single copies among research libraries -- 
including selection of titles, equity in contributions, and services. 
Other issues include a public-private school partnership, the impact of 
de-duplication on ARL rank, and the broader context of print and 
electronic preservation.

Panel and Audience Discussion: What are the Issues for Kentucky?

Following the prepared remarks, the audience will be invited to ponder 
the storage issues in Kentucky. All presenters will be available on the 
panel to add comments and suggestions.
