Johnsonstvier: While I agree that the current title is borderline odd, I'd like to discuss other possibilities. I'm not into the matter, frankly, but my brief research indicates that the subject is also called
shared collection[1], and
collective collection is also a common expression
[2]. And I don't think there's a sharp distinction between a "collection" (a set of physical things) and a "program" (a joint effort to manage the collection).

Comment: The proposed title sounds a bit like the practice of placing computer printers on a shared network. —

Comment. Note that "program" is American English. According to
WP:COMMONALITY, we should not choose a title for something that is not specific to one country that is specific to one variety of English. --

Comment: I believe the distinction is that there are collective collections, especially in repositories that are curated by the members, that are distinct from shared print programs, where one library agrees to keep a title so that others may withdraw it. The term "shared print" and "shared print program" can be found in many places e.g. HathiTrust
[3], Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC)
[4], California Digital Libraries
[5], The Rosemont Shared Print Alliance
[6], and OCLC
