Shared Print Objectives Clause Samples

Shared Print Objectives. The terms “shared print” and “print archiving” are used to categorize a number of different types of initiatives with diverse objectives, including: ● Alleviating local space pressures: No library has the resources to manage its own print collections indefinitely without regard for shelf space.
