Abstract
Library collections preservation and security programs increasingly compete for resources with an expanding array of rigorous collection, service, and technology needs. In a recent survey of Association of Research Libraries members on preservation programs, lack of funding was overwhelmingly identified as the leading preservation challenge. Libraries are developing innovative strategies to build budget support and to attract new external funds through grants, statewide initiatives, fund-raising campaigns, and entrepreneurial activities. This paper focuses on the range of preservation and security strategies now available to libraries, the infrastructure and tools needed to advance a successful program, the various audiences requiring education and advocacy, and the core qualities of a preservation effort-and the way each of these elements intersects with resource development activities.
