- 13. Not if, but how • Conscious coordination of stewardship roles within the Harvard Library system • Multi-scalar strategy of engagement with ‘above campus’ partners: HathiTrust, Ivies Plus, disciplinary efforts (MedPrint, PALMprint, etc.) • Direct consultation with faculty, students, alumni and library staff on pace and prioritization of preservation strategy 13
