[Sally Krash]

Shared Analysis Tools for Print Retention Programs
Monday, June 26th from 8:30-10am, McCormick Place W184a
ALCTS

Shared print retention programs are faced with the challenge of managing large data sets and creating data visualizations for analysis and retention models. This panel will discuss tools used by 4 shared print retention programs - the HathiTrust Shared Print Program, the Eastern Academic Scholars' Trust (EAST), the Western Regional Storage Trust (WEST), and the Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries (CARL) Shared Print Trust. Lizanne Payne will discuss HathiTrust's analysis of existing print holdings data that member libraries already provide to HathiTrust, and will outline plans for future collection analysis methods.  Susan Stearns will discuss how EAST uses GreenGlass for collection analysis and retention commitment. Emily Stambaugh will discuss how WEST uses its own tool - AGUA - to conduct group analyses and assign retention commitments. George Machovec will discuss CARL's use of Gold Rush as a shared print analytics tool. Attendees will learn about print retention programs  and the tools used for collections and retention analysis.

*         Western Regional Storage Trust (WEST), a distributed print journal repository program among academic libraries in the western United States;

*         Research Collections and Preservation Consortium (ReCAP) (Columbia, NYPL, Princeton), a project to define a shared collection and discovery/delivery system based on holdings at the ReCAP library shelving facility.
Earlier Lizanne served for 20 years as Executive Director of the Washington (DC) Research Library Consortium (WRLC), a consortium of nine university libraries that collaborate to support a shared digital library system and a shared offsite collections facility.

Emily Stambaugh is the University of California Libraries' Shared Print Manager and Program Manager for the Western Regional Storage Trust (WEST).
