Change in Emphasis: The Optimized Print Collection
The NYU perspective on library stacks: “small is beautiful” and “less is more”
• Campus size constraints• Demand for library seats
(48% increase in main library use in last 5 years)
• Nature of current library use• Cost of offsite storage• A paper-less library in Abu Dhabi?

21st Century Research Commons Space Portfolio
Research Hub: Services, technology, interactions with experts & groups
Graduate Exchange: Informal “watercooler,” decompress, exchange ideas, serendipity, interdisciplinary
Writers Rooms: Subscribed spaces for intense concentration

21st Century Research Commons Space Portfolio
Grad-only rooms: Quiet, community standards for intense work
Grad-only collaborative rooms: Group “study” rooms, equipped with technology for sharing project work
Intra-stacks and contemplative seating for all users: traditional, with sensitivity to light, acoustics, comfort, electric outlets

Change in Emphasis: The Optimized Print Collection
Key assumption:
High use books belong in the library stacks, but low use books do not (if they can be made readily available in another way).

Change in Emphasis: The Optimized Print Collection
Emerging assumption:
Low use books do not need to be retained (in one’s own storage facility) if they can be made readily available another way.

Trusted systems for shared print journal repositories are emerging (e.g. WEST)
• Scope and vision agreement• Retention agreements• Service agreements• Validation of content• Centralized or distributed?
(See ARL may 2010 presentation by Lizanne Payne)

• Overlap in holdings that are low use• Accessibility vs. “last copy” preservation• Trust and validation via: Agreements?
Numbers? Best practices?
Trusted/feasible systems for shared print monograph repositories are being explored.
Issues include:

Key assumption:
Low use can be defined by evidence from circulation and in-house use patterns.

Emerging assumption:
Low use can be expected when a digital version is available to substitute for many/most needs.

Expanding the candidate print volumes for low use through:
• Digitization Public domain Hathi assurance of preservation and access
• Backfile licensing Product availability Enduring access Appropriate terms

• Buy print when it is the only or best way to meet known needs Is “just in time” enough for unknown needs?
• Maximize the acquisition and use of e-versions POD EBM Work around consumer e-book readers
• Maximize (or optimize) the use of flagship library print collections Material may be in use cost and time of delivery

We can build new and better models for:
• Shared print repositories• Shared acquisitions• Access to digital book content• Interdependent collections• Optimal user space
