Abstract

This paper reports on the results of a 2007 survey of Australian academic libraries and their practice with regard to the storage and disposal of legacy print material. The survey was undertaken in the wake of similar surveys in the United States and the United Kingdom, and with a view to assessing the likely future demand for storage space. The discussion focuses on the advantages of a national print repository based on ceded ownership.
