Abstract: This talk outlines the work of the United Kingdom Research Reserve (UKRR) project, which was established in 2007 to explore whether, through collaborative documentation, preservation and deduplication of low-use print journals, it would be possible to realize benefits through the generation of space savings across the UK’s Higher Education libraries. The session will explore some of the challenges and change needed to succeed. UKRR was managed by Imperial College London in partnership with the British Library (BL) and between 2007 and 2019, 35 further libraries participated in the project. UKRR ran in three phases and has now transitioned to a service delivered by the BL which is available to libraries across the UK.
Chris Banks joined Imperial College in September 2013 as Director of Library Services (a role now expanded to include a cross-College Assistant Provost role). She has over fourteen years’ experience at HE library director level, and over 20 years in a variety of curatorial, management and strategic roles at the British Library. She started her library career in an opera house library. Her areas of expertise include strategy, open science and scholarly communications, organisational change, public engagement, space, and her original discipline, music. Chris Banks is a member of the Jisc UUK Content Negotiations Strategy Group, she chairs the Jisc UUK Content Expert Group, she is an elected Board member of Research Libraries UK (RLUK), and a member of the SCONUL Content Strategy Group. As Head of UKRR, she oversaw the final phase of the project and the transition to a national service delivered by the British Library.
