1 What is HathiTrust and Why is it relevant to research libraries? Sourcing and Scaling brought to the collective collection

2 What is HathiTrust?

3 HathiTrust is attempting nothing short of creating a comprehensive preservation repository of published literature, primarily though not exclusively through digitization.

21 all of the reasonable costs of sustaining the archive including replacement costs and a sort of insurance policy are combined to create a sort of atomic cost unit (in this case, a GB of content)

24 Mission and goals Mission: to contribute to the common good by collecting, organizing, preserving, communicating, and sharing the record of human knowledge. Goals – To build a reliable and increasingly comprehensive digital archive of library materials converted from print that is co-owned and managed by a number of academic institutions. – To dramatically improve access to these materials in ways that, first and foremost, meet the needs of the co-owning institutions. – To help preserve these important human records by creating reliable and accessible electronic representations. – To stimulate redoubled efforts to coordinate shared storage strategies among libraries, thus reducing long-term capital and operating costs of libraries associated with the storage and care of print collections. – To create and sustain this public good in a way that mitigates the problem of free-riders. – To create a technical framework that is simultaneously responsive to members through the centralized creation of functionality and sufficiently open to the creation of tools and services not created by the central organization.

25 A global change in the library environment June 2010 Median duplication: 31% June 2009 Median duplication: 19% Academic print book collection already substantially duplicated in mass digitized book corpus

27 The HathiTrust Business Model, v.2: Costs based on holdings overlap and the perceived benefits we derive

28 For public domain volumes: (PD*X*C)/N For a given in­copyright volume: IC=(C*X)/H new cost model: http://www.hathitrust.org/cost

29 sharing in the curation; having a voice in shaping the future

30 Collective digital curation driving down costs reducing bibliographic indeterminacy making meaningful decisions about formats and quality increasing discoverability consolidating development talent improving strength of archiving

31 Partner Status As of October 11th – 33 Contributing partner libraries – 1 Sustaining partner library In final stages of contract review or pending announcement – 5 Contributing partner libraries – 6 Sustaining partner libraries
