Tool 1: Finding Common Functions
Cross-community appeal• Functions which appear in all three communities• e.g. physical preservation of rare and unique materials
Common denominator• Functions which can be generalized to a common set of needs• e.g. broad access to digital surrogates of rare and unique materials
Currently out-of-reach• Functions which are desired, yet not effectively or economically
fulfilled by individual institutions• e.g. preservation of digital surrogates
