significant steps are being taken to form a federated organization of shared print book groups. I recommend reading the December Summit Meeting notes you will find at the link provided below. And after reading, I hope you will take some time to consider
the impact and the opportunities this new organization may bring for MI-SPI in the near future.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#0B5394">Dear PAN Colleagues - As many of you know, the Eastern Academic Scholars' Trust (EAST) has sponsored two summits focused on further collaboration across monograph shared print
initiatives in the U.S. and Canada. The second of these was held in Boston in early December and the 30+ participants agreed to a vision, mission and set of guiding principles for creation of a federation of such programs, tentatively named the "Partnership
for Shared Book Collections". For more information on the December Summit, please see the notes from the meeting, available here -<a href="https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=YmxjLm9yZ3xzdW1taXR8Z3g6NWZlMDI1YjllOWE4MjBi">https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=YmxjLm9yZ3xzdW1taXR8Z3g6NWZlMDI1YjllOWE4MjBi</a>,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
