11. Conscious coordination
• Stewardship roles within and “above” the institution
• Increased reliance on data-driven decision support
• Management infrastructure emerging (slowly)
– PAPR, WEST collection analysis, WorldCat
• Whether existing, emerging consortia offer
adequate coordination capacity is still an open
question

RESOLVED:
That the Harvard Library will be among those to
uphold a stewardship mandate for the print
scholarly & cultural record.
13. Not if, but how
• Conscious coordination of stewardship roles within
the Harvard Library system
• Multi-scalar strategy of engagement with ‘above
campus’ partners: HathiTrust, Ivies Plus, disciplinary
efforts (MedPrint, PALMprint, etc.)
• Direct consultation with faculty, students, alumni
and library staff on pace and prioritization of
preservation strategy
