12. Why shared print?
Shift in scholarly attention from print to electronic means low-use retrospective print collections are perceived to deliver less library value
Competing demands for library space: teaching, learning, collaboration vs. “warehouse of books”
Shared print is not just a trend, it’s a response to a number of specific and increasingly urgent challenges facing academic libraries.
Among academic libraries, a shrinking pool of institutions with mandate, capacity to support print preservation
As transaction costs for managing legacy print collections decrease, libraries will seek to externalize print operations to shared repositories

13. Despite the relatively small number of US academic libraries actively acquiring Asian content, it is becoming increasingly visible in the mass-digitized library corpus. This is a snapshot of the growth of titles published in Thailand and publications with Thai language content in the HathiTrust Digital Library, a cooperatively sourced digital preservation repository. Thai content represents less than half a percent of the total number of digitized titles in the HathiTrust repository, but the number of Thai titles is rising steadily.
Most (>90%) of these titles were digitized from copies held by the University of Michigan. Others are from the University of California and Cornell University.
OCLC Research. Analysis based on WorldCat and HathiTrust snapshots. Data current as of April 2011.

14. Evidence of increased ‘network’ visibility of Thai content via mass-digitization.
Search for Thai title in Google….identifies holdings in HathiTrust digital repository.
This title, a Thai almanac published in 1915, is held by only one WorldCat library --the University of Michigan. Because the copy was scanned and ingested into large shared repository, it is now much more easily discoverable.
And useable (if you speak Thai…) since it is in the public domain and therefore fully available online to US audiences.

15. Optical character recognition is still imperfect
Impact on full-text search
Simply to illustrate that text is fully viewable in HathiTrust, including both page images and full text index.
But note that OCR includes some garbage characters, which compromises full text searching.
Still – for a title that Michigan might not be willing to loan as a physical volume, this is an enormous advance.

The overall shift in library investment and attention away from traditional purchased collections is driven by university libraries. This chart is one we have used internally at OCLC to describe the kind of change we expect to see in library collections in the next five years. The shape-shifting varies by library type, but it’s most pronounced for academic libraries, where we anticipate fairly dramatic shifts toward licensed collections and toward increased support for managing research outputs and learning objects.
