| description | In recent years there has been a growing international interest in the development of shared facilities to house legacy print collections as a means of providing cost-effective and secure storage. These 'repositories' have in some cases been successfully implemented on a national scale.

It argues that although these negotiations have not been successful to date, the opportunity still exists to re-open discussions, and makes suggestions regarding the organisational structures that are needed to bring about a successful outcome. |
