The only current participants in the Southeast Ohio Regional Library Depository are Ohio University Libraries and OU’s
regional campus libraries, but this facility does also function as part of a state network of five remote storage facilities.
The libraries in this state network do make some joint decisions about we will retain—for example, the number of
copies of bound journals—but there is also a fair amount of autonomy.

For Northeast Ohio shared academic repository: single copy in ONE of FIVE shared Ohio facilities.
In the early days of this facility we paid no attention to the number of duplicate copies sent to remote storage, but now
we do not keep more than one copy of a work.
Items already at SRLF or NRLF may not be sent to the other RLF.
Single copy for facility for journals, and single copy per institution for monographs.
The facility only collects and houses single copies.
