Over the last half-year or so, OCLC Research has been running a 
series of symposia exploring what they are calling the "evolving 
scholarly record"; the final symposium in the series was held June 2 
in San Francisco. CNI has been participating in these meetings as 
part of our efforts to understand the broader landscape of 
preservation challenges, as well as due to our ongoing interest in 
the evolution of scholarly communications practices.

With that context, I wanted to share the announcement below with the 
CNI community about OCLC's latest report on this work, which has just 
been released.  The report is at

http://www.oclc.org/research/publications/2015/oclcresearch-esr-stewardship-2015.html

and if you are not familiar with the project, you may also want to 
look at the earlier report at

http://www.oclc.org/research/publications/library/2014/oclcresearch-evolving-scholarly-record-2014-overview.html

Material on the June 2, 2015 workshop (and pointers to summaries of 
earlier workshops) can be found at

OCLC Research published a new report today, 
<http://www.oclc.org/research/publications/2015/oclcresearch-esr-stewardship-2015.html>Stewardship 
of the Evolving Scholarly Record: From the Invisible Hand to 
Conscious Coordination, written by Brian Lavoie and Constance Malpas.

This report describes the key features of future stewardship models 
adapted to the characteristics of a digital, networked scholarly 
record, and discusses some practical implications of implementing 
these models.

Key highlights include:

As the scholarly record continues to evolve, conscious coordination 
will become an important organizing principle for stewardship models.
Past stewardship models were built on an "invisible hand" approach 
that relied on the uncoordinated, institution-scale efforts of 
individual academic libraries acting autonomously to maintain local 
collections.
Future stewardship of the evolving scholarly record requires 
conscious coordination of context, commitments, specialization, and 
reciprocity.
With conscious coordination, local stewardship efforts leverage scale 
by collecting more of less.
Keys to conscious coordination include right-scaling consolidation, 
cooperation, and community mix.
Reducing transaction costs and building trust facilitate conscious 
coordination.
Incentives to participate in cooperative stewardship activities 
should be linked to broader institutional priorities.

Conscious coordination calls for stewardship strategies that 
incorporate a broader awareness of the system-wide stewardship 
context; declarations of explicit commitments around portions of the 
local collection; formal divisions of labor within cooperative 
arrangements; and robust networks for reciprocal access. Stewardship 
strategies based on conscious coordination involve an acceleration of 
an already perceptible transition away from relatively autonomous 
local collections to ones built on networks of cooperation across 
many organizations, within and outside the traditional cultural 
heritage community.
