In July 2003 CRL organized the Preserving America’s Print Resources (PAPR) conference, which explored the challenges faced by libraries in sustaining print collections at a time when digital resources were fast becoming the preferred sources for researchers. As the center of gravity for libraries continues to shift from print to digital, the need for rational and sustainable provisions for print is growing.Given the traction that shared print and archiving efforts have gained since 2003, it is now an appropriate time to examine the results of our collective efforts and determine where to go from here.

The purpose of the PAPR II gathering is to formulate a common vision for the further development and growth of shared research library collections, and to determine priorities for CRL support of same, in order to prevent the loss of critical print journals and government publications

The summit is made possible by the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the CRL community of member libraries.
