Cooperative Journal Retention
ASERL has approved a policy for cooperatively retaining print journals as a means of optimizing
collection management across the consortium. The retention agreement is in effect through
December 31, 2035. A group of 24 ASERL libraries are retaining titles under this agreement. The
current working title list (*.xls spreadsheet) is available here (Updated: 09-09-2013).
Scholars Trust
In early 2013, ASERL and the Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC) signed an agreement
to combine the contents of their respective print journal archives under a single retention and access
agreement. The combined title list exceeds 8,000 journal titles and more than 250,000 volumes,
making Scholars Trust one of the largest print journal repositories in the United States. At the same
time, WRLC and ASERL libraries have agreed to extend reciprocal priority Inter-Library Loan (ILL)
services across the group.
To participate in the program, an ASERL library need only submit a concise letter of agreement signed
by the library dean (or higher authority) affirming to comply with the program policies.
