Current Challenges

Do we build?
• Facility is nearly at capacity• Harvard continues to make significant
investments in print holdings• Collection Development team considering and
attempting to create a single profile for Harvard• Making the case that we can cost recover the
expense becomes harder and harder• Project to De-duplify collections• ILL from the Depository
![Page 14: The Harvard Depository A Tale of Today and Tomorrow Kenneth J. Peterson Head of Resource Sharing and Library Logistics Harvard Library – Access Services.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5519961a55034643068b47eb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Do we partner and resource share our way to space?
• Can we look to consortium, such as Borrow Direct, to reduce duplicate copies?
• RAPID ILL and sharing articles?• Can we guarantee quick and easy access for
our scholars?• Who actually wants us?
