Princeton is one of 18 institutions that participated in a 2012 South Asia Cooperative
Collection Development Workshop. This was a follow up to earlier 2010 and 2011
cooperative workshops. The 2010 workshop focused on de-duplicating monographic
profiles, and the 2011 workshop focused on reducing redundancy and increasing diversity in Library of Congress serial subscriptions. The 2012 workshop declared distinct niche institutional/individual strengths upon which future collection endeavors could focus.

Summary reports are available for all three workshops:

• South Asia Cooperative Collection Development Initiative Post-Workshop Announcement (2010)
• 2011 South Asia Cooperative Collection Development Workshop Summary Report and Outcomes
• South Asia Cooperative Collection Development Initiative 2012 Summary Report and Outcomes

As an outcome of the 2012 cooperative workshop, Princeton committed to Library of Congress profiles in the physical and biological sciences (including serials).
