Colleagues,

I am excited to share a new publication from OCLC Research – Total Cost of Stewardship: Responsible Collection Building in Archives and Special Collections. Read the report and related research from the field and download the free tool suite here: https://oc.lc/total-stewardship-report
Developed by the OCLC Research Library Partnership’s Collection Building and Operational Impacts Working Group<https://www.oclc.org/research/partnership/working-groups/collection-building-operational-impacts.html>, the report responds to the ongoing challenge of descriptive backlogs in archives and special collections by connecting collection development decisions with stewardship responsibilities. It presents the Total Cost of Stewardship Framework, a holistic approach to understanding the resources needed to responsibly acquire and steward archives and special collections, value and make visible the expertise and labor of all involved in the stewardship lifecycle, and help colleagues across roles to communicate and make informed decisions together.

The collection of materials published includes:

·       An OCLC Research report: Total Cost of Stewardship: Responsible Collection Building in Archives and Special Collections

·       An annotated bibliography of related resources

·       The Total Cost of Stewardship Tool Suite, comprising of a set of Communication Tools, Cost Estimation Tools, and a Manual to guide end users in implementing the Tool Suite.

Thank you,
Chela
