PALNI is one of many to develop this partnership to protect and preserve scholarly print books. Read more in the EAST (Eastern Academic Scholars' Trust) press release:

> Boston, MA, January 23, 2019 Academic and research libraries have long collaborated to preserve and protect the print scholarly record.  The newly formed [Partnership for Shared Book Collections](https://eastlibraries.org/partnership-shared-book-collections) takes this work to the next level by coordinating collaboration for the protection of print books.
> 
> Preservation and storage facilities such as the Research Collections and Preservation Service ([ReCAP](https://recap.princeton.edu/)), large scale digitization and preservation initiatives such as [HathiTrust](https://www.hathitrust.org/), and programs such as the [Eastern Academic Scholars' Trust](http://www.eastlibraries.org/) (EAST) have all focused on long-term retention of books while ensuring they are accessible for scholars, faculty and students.  More recently, collaborations among consortial shared print programs are being formed, such as the [Rosemont Shared Print Alliance](https://rosemontsharedprintalliance.org/) which is focused on archiving print serials and journals. The Partnership for Shared Book Collections complements the Rosemont initiative with a focus on the print book.
