The shared repository assures long-term preservation of the partner libraries\u2019 digital content as well as persistent access to the digital collections. UT Knoxville joined HathiTrust in 2014. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mercer outlined the UT Libraries\u2019 extensive participation in HathiTrust: \u201cWhile the primary focus of HathiTrust is its digital library, member libraries collaborate on initiatives to improve access to, and promote preservation of, digital and print scholarship. For example, Rachel Caldwell, UT\u2019s scholarly communication librarian, and Kris Bronstad, our modern political archivist, both participate in HathiTrust\u2019s copyright review program to identify materials which have entered the public domain. The HathiTrust Research Center enables computational analysis across the more than eight-million-title corpus. And UT joined the shared print program this year, committing to preserve more than 17,000 print volumes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HathiTrust is\nfunded by the partner libraries and governed by members of the libraries\nthrough the Board of Governors. The&nbsp;board has ultimate responsibility for&nbsp;HathiTrust&#8217;s activities, strategy, finances, and\noperations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The HathiTrust Board of Governors\nincludes six at-large members elected by the membership and\nsix members appointed by the founding institutions. In 2018, Mercer was elected to complete the term of a\nretiring HathiTrust board member. Mercer\u2019s current term on the board will\ncontinue through 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Senior Associate Dean at the UT Libraries,\nMercer oversees acquisitions and continuing\nresources, assessment programs, cataloging, collection logistics, digital\ninitiatives, enterprise systems, the Scholar\u2019s Collaborative, and technology\ninfrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mercer also serves as a Faculty Fellow in UT\u2019s Office of Research and Engagement.
