Global Resources: a system-wide view

Research libraries as shared infrastructure
• Aggregate library resource represents vital infrastructure for foreign language and area studies scholarship
• Current organization of research library ‘system’ is ill-adapted to support emerging requirements for international education
• Institution-scale approaches to building global resource collections misaligned with realities of networked scholarship and international relations

Coverage of critical priority languages in the global library system has increased substantially since 2007
Yet, institution-scale coverage in US research libraries remains limited

Challenges
• Diffuse distribution of global resources across US research library system limits discoverability and access
• Limited ‘network intelligence’ for distributed collection management
• Incentive models (reputation, funding) favor institution-scale operations
• Significant disparities in coverage and availability of global resources in digital formats
![Page 13: Global Resources - a system-wide perspective](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081400/5560c4a9d8b42a033c8b5a91/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Areas for attention
• Maximize library coordination capacity within and beyond NRC network
• Address need for integrated discovery/delivery solutions that leverage distributed resource
• Support and reward ‘above the institution’ acquisitions and stewardship models that improve resource coverage, reduce management costs
• Prioritize investments to improve digital access to global resource collections in targeted areas.
