Abstract

Librarians and administrators speculate that the digitization and access of items through the HathiTrust Digital Library may reduce or eliminate demand for the corresponding print content. This belief feeds into a perception that monographs housed in academic libraries and delivered via such services are ripe for deduplication or outright withdrawal, yet other institutions may remain dependent upon those holding titles to provide print-based access for their patrons. Embracing HathiTrust’s emerging Shared Print Monograph Program, more than seventy-nine member institutions committed to retain print monographs that correspond to those digitized from their collections. Putting aside concerns expressed by some about the meaningfulness of those commitments, not all members made such commitments. Moreover, retention commitments are not always publicly displayed, leading to scenarios in which such commitments may be used by other institutions to withdraw from their collections, based on these holdings. This paper provides a data-driven examination of the use of one research library’s print items that correspond to the digital materials deposited into the HathiTrust, detailing both the results and the process by which data was gathered, managed, and digested to yield the results.
探讨数字化对印刷品使用的影响
图书馆员和管理员推测,通过HathiTrust数字图书馆对物品进行数字化和访问可能会减少或消除对相应印刷内容的需求。这种信念助长了一种看法,即学术图书馆中的专著和通过此类服务提供的专著已经成熟,可以重复或完全撤回,但其他机构可能仍然依赖于那些拥有书名的机构为其读者提供基于印刷品的访问。通过接受HathiTrust新兴的共享印刷专论计划,超过79个成员机构承诺保留与其收藏的数字化印刷专论相对应的印刷专论。抛开一些成员对这些承诺的意义表示的关切不谈,并不是所有成员都做出了这样的承诺。此外,保留承诺并不总是公开显示的,这导致其他机构可能会根据这些持股情况,利用这些承诺从其藏品中撤出。本文对一个研究图书馆的印刷品的使用进行了数据驱动的检查,这些印刷品与存放在HathiTrust中的数字材料相对应,详细说明了结果以及收集、管理和消化数据以产生结果的过程。
