ABSTRACT

Preservation and collection development professionals should explore new ways to work cooperatively with other libraries to expand the effectiveness of their programs in a mutually beneficial manner. This paper discusses the challenges that must be overcome to establish an effective cooperative effort. Special emphasis is given to the Brittle program at the University of Kansas Libraries that was established for acquiring preservation photocopies of embrittled volumes at reduced prices.
