Abstract
  • The University of California Shared Print program, the Committee on Institutional Cooperation Shared Print Repository, and the Triangle Research Libraries Network Collaborative Print Retention Program are studied in order to ascertain current print serial retention practices among academic libraries in the United States. Using a comparative case study design, document analysis and descriptive statistics are examined to reveal the processes of different programs, as well as their local contexts. Cross-case analysis revealed several trends: retention of print journals often builds upon existing consortial mechanisms to gather, describe, preserve, and provide access services, subsequently relieving library budgets as well as space. In the emerging electronic world, these programs are seeking a solution to the problem of print serials by collaborating to retain limited copies-always ensuring some form of basic access, and never closing the door to them completely.
