Something’s gotta give
New initiatives are absorbed into existing budgets Many duplicative efforts
In selection In acquisitions In cataloging In disclosure and access In storage In digital projects In digital repositories
Expensive legacy systems maintained locally And our users are often not discovering our
information!

What will it mean to curate the collective collection?
Shared print storage Effective lending practices Coordinated digitization Collaborative selection Making our data work harder

Focus on special collections
Material that is unique or rare is in a variety of formats will only be acquired once need only be cataloged once supports our local users we are best suited to maintain will be accessed by remote users requires preservation
Basis for assessment Scale up digitization to avoid marginalization

The role of metadata in the collective collection
Blaming the victim Improved systems that:
Make use of existing metadata, without unnecessary modifications
Have improved handling of vocabularies Encourage shortcuts Take advantage of Web 2.0 possibilities Increase our reach
