Abstract While library models already exist for sharing physical materials and joint licensing, this paper envisions an aspect of future collections involving a national digital collection owned, not licensed, by libraries. Collaborative collection development, digitization, and digital object management of owned collections can benefit societies in multiple ways, from expanding access to users otherwise unable to reach these materials, to preserving content even when disaster strikes, to reducing duplication of effort and expense in collection or digitization. This article will explore both the benefits of and the challenges to this type of collaboration.

共享馆藏开发、数字化和自有数字馆藏

摘要 虽然图书馆模式已经存在共享实物资料和联合许可，但本文设想了未来馆藏的一个方面，涉及图书馆拥有而非许可的国家数字馆藏。自有馆藏的合作馆藏开发、数字化和数字对象管理可以通过多种方式使社会受益，从扩大对无法访问这些资料的用户的访问，到即使在灾难发生时也能保存内容，再到减少馆藏工作的重复工作和费用或数字化。本文将探讨这种协作的好处和挑战。
