Progam MOU

In 2013 thirty-six Indiana academic libraries agreed to participate in the ALI/PALNI Shared Print Project. The libraries engaged Sustainable Collection Services to analyze the circulating print monographs of each participant. The project has both short-term and long-term goals. In the short-term, libraries make data-driven decisions about weeding their collections and reclaim space for student use. Long term the Project is the foundation for a shared collection and cooperative collection development.
