Editor's Notes
- Here’s the link to the agreement: http://www.aserl.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/ASERL_Journal_Retention_Agreement_FINAL.pdf
- I was just added as the rep for our library. Tyler has written and signed our memorandum of understanding.
- We are not required to keep print or electronic subs of titles nominated . The project is not about current and future archives. That will most likely be a separate digital archival project down the road. Also, If a title run is missing a volume or two, or a few issues, that’s ok. We will also nominate titles that we have from, say, v.1 1920—through 2005. It’s ok that we don’t have the current subscription. Also, title can be nominated and put on the list more than once by separate universitise. Also, remember that many universities are keeping titles beyond the titles nominated for ASERL storage.
- The most important of these are completeness and electronic archive availability, but all factors can be factored in.
- 3 options for holdings
- Risk associated with location and circ policy. We can choose from any of these.
- We do not need to use a blanket approach. We can discard some things in JSTor, or Springer, or Wiley, and so on. We can nominate from those same archives, as well.
