Perpetual access to corresponding e-versions adequate ability to procure copy of print via ILB (requires holdings in
one of a number of print retention projects underway around country), if necessary digitization of older issues was
adequate, especially regarding graphics color digitized images, where applicable

deaccessioned.
Only deaccessioned titles that were *not* the last print copy in the OCUL institutions.
Please see BLC policy above.
Principle was that for any title we held print equivalent volumes and were not the archiving institution, we would
deaccession unless there were compelling reasons not to do so, e.g., poor quality images in e-surrogate.
Shared print agreements allowed campuses to choose to retain or deaccession on a case-by-case basis. JSTOR titles
were also deaccessioned on a case-by-case basis. Deselection was not a requirement.
Specific journal titles from certain publishers, held by all three institutions
Subject emphases on campus, persistence of partner holdings
That an item has been contributed to ASERL/WRLC is a factor in our deaccession process. Completeness, internal usage,
and electronic availability (unpurchased/purchased/leased) are additional factors.
The agreements address retention and do not require deaccession.
This project is so new that no one has yet deaccessioned anything.
Thus far, serial volumes housed by a multiple libraries. One copy of serial volumes to be retained at Joint Library Storage
Facility and to serve as a Resource in Common for any library holding a copy of said volume.
Titles in good condition in subjects not likely to be used and requested for transfer by other WEST members.
Titles owned electronically and held at the majority of our libraries.
We are not deaccessioning these titles we are retaining them so that others can deselect.
We have not yet deaccessioned anything based on these co-operative agreements.
We have not yet discarded any materials as a result of the cooperative retention agreement program. We understand
some other PALCI libraries have discarded.
