The Collection Management Initiative
The Collection Management Initiative is a University of California systemwide research project funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation designed to explore the complex issues associated with integrating and managing research library journal collections composed of shared print and digital journals. The study will evaluate the factors that affect reliance on shared digital resources to relieve pressure on physical facilities and capital budgets to house and manage print materials. By temporarily removing print journals from some campus libraries to storage facilities and providing access through digital "equivalents" or requests for the print from storage, while also maintaining the journals on the shelf in control libraries, the project will gather data on the impact on the volume of usage, users and scarce library resources.
