What next?
• Data API and other strategies for increased
openness
• Internet Archive/OCA ingest followed by misc.
non-Google ingest
• Full text search over entire repository
• Extending out services through Shib
• Creating research corpus
• Deeper collaborative strategies
www.hathitrust.org
Where next with collaboration?
• Begin sharing actual development, cf. ingest of
Internet Archive content
– Specifications
– Validation routines?
– Packaging?
• Collaboratively develop a collaborative
framework
– SAB and working group charges

Security
Collection management
Non-Consumptive Research
Digital preservation
Discovery (bibliographic and full text)
Externally-facing repository APIs
Bibliographic metadata management
Rights Management
www.hathitrust.org
Universal collection
• What is a collection?
• Bibliographic identity
• Certification (and for specific or purposes)
– Object as content
– Object as artifact
www.hathitrust.org
Toward a Cloud Library
• Shared Print repository or repositories with all the
best attributes (service, treatment, management)
• Shared digital repository with all the best attributes
(compliance with TRAC, accessible in every sense, a
foundation for services)
• … and even some coordination between the two
• … and even (particularly for in-copyright works
where we don’t have permissions) a viewable copy in
GBS
www.hathitrust.org
Expectations and plans?
• How would we define our requirements for
satisfaction with each?
• What would the business model be?
• How would we build our local collections in
light of the presence of something like this?
• What would we do on the “core” or shared
collections?

Next steps for libraries

•
Case study library: NYU Library
ReCap storage facility in Princeton, NJ
HathiTrust digital repository
CLIR as broker and OCLC Research as agent
Futures that depend on looking beyond the
local to the shared, from the shared as “you”
to the shared as “we”
www.hathitrust.org
Needed infrastructure
• More refined bibliographic identification
• Relationship of digital to partner print
holdings, including withdrawn volumes
• Certification of digital
• Rights determination
• Rights clearance
