How Shared is Shared? Remote Storage and Cooperative Collection Building Faced with the challenges of balancing the costs and benefits of maintaining print collections at the local level, libraries are moving increasingly toward shared management of print materials with partner institutions. This program offered perspectives on building shared collections housed at off-site storage facilities and a discussion of models for retention policies and service agreements. Panelists addressed how shared print holdings inform collection development decisions for acquiring, managing, and withdrawing items from on-site collections and highlighted strategies for future directions. Sponsored by the RUSA CODES/STARS Cooperative Development Committee. Location: Washington Convention Center, Room 147B Presenters:

2010 ALA Conference Program—To Catch a Thief: Cataloging and the Security of Special Collections How can libraries fulfill the need to provide access to their collections while simultaneously protecting them? Can full catalog records deter theft? How have they been instrumental in identifying and reclaiming stolen materials? Recognizing ongoing pressures on technical service staff and library administrators due to budget cutbacks and competing priorities, this program explored how balancing faster and cheaper cataloging with sufficiently robust descriptions benefits the security of special collections in libraries.
