EAST LIBRARIES

The Eastern Academic Scholars' Trust (EAST) is the collaborative effort of a large group of academic and research libraries to document, protect, and provide long-term access to their print collections. As of September 2023, EAST has over 100 member institutions in 15 states from Maine to Florida. EAST is focused on retaining unique, scarcely held, and frequently used scholarly books and journals in support of scholarship, research and teaching... In 2020, EAST became one of the founding members of the Partnership for Shared Book Collections, an organization that grew out of two EAST-organized Shared Print Summits, made possible by the Mellon Foundation grant. The Partnership, a continental endeavor with representation from major monograph shared print programs, has a mission to: "Coordinate collaboration among shared print monograph initiatives and collections in North America to support cost-effective retention and access to shared print monograph collections."...
