Abstract: Using the Eastern Academic Scholars’ Trust (EAST) shared print program as the focus, the authors, both of whom are members of the EAST Program Team, discuss the changes that EAST has experienced in the last few years. This includes significant growth of the membership of EAST, particularly with the addition of large library consortia; advances in the software tools that support shared print; the broadening and deepening of collaboration across shared print programs; and the opportunities that exist for further research in support of preserving and providing access to the print scholarly and cultural record.
