The Shared Print Partnership is a federation of monograph and serial shared print programs across the United States and Canada. The Rosemont Shared Print Alliance and the Partnership for Shared Book Collections were separate organizations focused on ensuring the retention of and access to print journal backfiles and monographs respectively. As of July 1st, 2024, they have formed a single entity known as the Shared Print Partnership.

The mission of the Partnership is to advance the sustainability, accessibility, and preservation of shared print collections and infrastructure through collective action, collaboration, and advocacy, ensuring enduring access and preservation of critical research materials for the global academic community.

The Council on Library & Information Resources (CLIR) serves as the administrative and fiscal host of the Shared Print Partnership.
