The document discusses the future of library collection development, focusing on the implications of digital and print materials over the next 5 to 10 years. It emphasizes the challenges and opportunities for cooperation within consortia regarding shared purchases and access to collections. The role of print in the evolving landscape of e-books and demand-driven acquisition strategies is also considered.

2. Monographs
 Journals are easy
 Digital
 Shared
 Are the few print titles worth considering?

3. Looking into the Future
 5 years
 Print/electronic mix – still transitional
 DDA predominant for e-books
 10 years
 Mostly electronic
 Mostly DDA
 Local POD
 How actively will we still collect print?

4. What Do E-Book Collections Mean?
 Easier cooperation within consortia
 Shared access to shared purchases
 No shared access beyond consortia
 Depletion of the collective collection
 ILL replaced by STL

5. Demand-Driven Acquisition
 Is there a role for consortia?
 Tension between shared discount/local needs
 Immediate access vs. stewardship of
the cultural record
 Access
Better served by DDA
 Stewardship of potential acquisitions

6. And What About Print?
 Copies for sharing? Copies for
preservation?
 Bundled with e-book purchases?
 Who stores?
 Who pays?
 Some stuff will always be print -
opportunities
 Specialcollections
 Non-English
 Small Press
