[Mcls-print-storage] Analysis of replacing lost titles agreed to be held by EMU for participation in Shared Print Project

[Robert Kelly]

Hi... 

EMU has completed reviewing their lost/missing titles from March 2010 to June 2011. 

After our selectors reviewed the 988 lost/missing circulating monographs, they determined we would not replace 239 titles. I filtered the 239 titles against the criteria 
for titles included in the Shared Print collection which yielded list of 30 titles. I then compared those 30 titles against EMU's shared print retention list and identified 7 titles which EMU has agreed to retain. I looked up the prices for the 7 titles on Amazon/Barnes-Noble a determined a replacement cost of $307. 
One half of that cost is for a volume of International Encyclopedia of Linguistics (vol. 3) $149. 

I've attached the list of 7 titles for your information. 

While we will not replace these titles immediately, I wanted to illustrate that there are potential direct costs associated with participation in this program. 

Perhaps we can use this result as a test case for developing a model to manage lost/missing titles as spelled out in the MOU.
