I’ve been working on a number of projects to incorporate holdings data into preservation decision-making at UCLA Library. The first paper from that, co-authored with Dawn Aveline and Annie Peterson, is forthcoming in an ALCTS Monograph, Shared Collections: Collaborative Stewardship.
The current pre-print draft and supporting materials are available below, along with links to presentations and related work that draw on our study. All links cited in these documents were checked and copied to an archive file on January 7, 2015, and access is available by request. You can use the comment form to contact us about the work.
