Dare to share: new approaches to
long-term collections management
A Research Libraries UK
and Preservation Advisory Centre joint conference exploring how
collaborative activities can form part of a strategic approach to collections
management across research and higher education institutions.
Monday 6 September 2010
Wellcome Collection Conference Centre,
This one day conference examines how libraries and
other research institutions can benefit from integrating preservation into
broader, long-term collections management strategies with a particular emphasis
on collaborative preservation ventures. Speakers from the UK and abroad present
current thinking on hybrid collections; using collection strengths to inform
integrated strategies for resource allocation; how digitisation affects what we
keep; protecting investment in digitisation projects; lifecycle costing of
digital collections; and opens up the question about the UKRR being a model for
other library materials.
The
day builds on research by the RLUK/BL Preservation Learning Project which
identified high demand for skills development on strategic issues in
collections management amongst staff in research and higher education
libraries. Responses particularly emphasised the value that a long-term
view can bring in considering access to the collections – both physical
and digital - and the importance of preservation within an encompassing and
strategic perspective.
