Expansion plans for 2015/16 are underway adding 3 to 5 new members.
If first institution does not wish to add to their collection, other institutions are queried as to their interest and
willingness to do so.
In the fall we anticipate receiving a list of titles from TRLN (Triangle Research Libraries Network).
More projects, more plans are under development.
Shared print in place agreements for prospective and retrospective monograph collections.
To date we have only archived journal back runs next phase of project will consider monographs, and we expect
retention commitments to be distributed among more participating libraries.
We anticipate that the group will grow in numbers, spreading the load. We also expect to appoint a project coordinator
in the near future. At some point it may be necessary to hire a part-time coordinator.
WEST plans to distribute Archive Holding responsibilities for low risk titles to as many as 60 institutions. Currently there
