The need to optimize your print collection has never been greater
Driven by the shift from print to digital formats, competing demands for library space, and the shrinking need and capacity to support long-term print, libraries increasingly share the responsibility and cost of managing their print collections. GreenGlass provides actionable data and the insights needed to make decisions with confidence and protect the scholarly record.
Join a growing number of libraries using GreenGlass to support shared print initiatives and inform collection management decisions.
