Call for Cycle 4 Archive Disclosures – Due May 29th http://www.cdlib.org/cdlinfo/2015/05/01/call-for-cycle-4-archive-disclosures-due-may-29th/ Sat, 02 May 2015 00:23:07 +0000 http://www.cdlib.org/cdlinfo/?p=17454 More...]]> The WEST project team recently sent out a call for WEST Archive Holders to submit metadata records describing the journal backfiles archived during WEST Cycle 4.

The archiving agreements formalized each cycle between WEST and the Archive Holders includes a commitment for Archive Holders to provide metadata records to the California Digital Library (CDL) for ingest into the Print Archives Preservation Registry (PAPR). The PAPR system is a public registry of the titles archived by several major print archiving and shared print programs. Archive Holders also provide disclosure records directly to OCLC to disclose WEST holdings in Worldcat.

Disclosure of WEST archived materials is intended to support three primary goals:

  1. Discovery and display of WEST materials for use by library staff and by library users as appropriate
  2. Resource-sharing among WEST members as defined in the WEST Access Guidelines
  3. Collection analysis to support local and system-level collection management decisions and development of additional WEST print archives

WEST asks that Archive Holders provide these records to CDL for PAPR by May 29, 2015. (You may provide records to OCLC separately on a schedule convenient for your library, but we strongly recommend that you do it around the same time.)

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact a member of the WEST Project Team.

Cycle 5 Collections Analysis Currently Underway http://www.cdlib.org/cdlinfo/2015/04/10/cycle-5-collections-analysis-currently-underway/ Sat, 11 Apr 2015 01:43:51 +0000 http://www.cdlib.org/cdlinfo/?p=17456 More...]]> In the fall, 86 members submitted files for 109 OCLC symbols, totaling 2.4 million records. With those records, approximately 30,000 journal backfiles were identified for cycle 5 collections analysis – which is currently underway.

WEST’s existing six Archive Builders will continue to archive journal backfiles categorized as silver and gold (i.e. medium and high risk backfiles). This year, 65 WEST members indicated their willingness to archive bronze journal backfiles, if through analysis they’re identified as eligible Archiver Holders with deep backfiles.

The Collections Working Group (CWG) has been convened to assist with the development of selection criteria and to identify title lists for WEST cycle 5 archiving. The CWG is a representational group, with collections officers representing Archive Builders, Archive Holders and non-Archive members.

Proposals for cycle 5 archiving will be ready for Archive Holder and Archive Builder review in July.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact a member of the WEST Project Team.

Thank you to the members of the CWG for lending their time and expertise to the WEST collections analysis process.

Thank you to both our new and existing Archive Holders (now totaling 32!) for their commitment to retain print journals!

To help members better understand the roles and responsibilities of WEST Archive Holders, WEST held three New Archive Holders Orientation webinars during the week of March 23rd.

The orientation webinars were intended to provide information about serving as a WEST Archive Holder and to prepare new Archiver Holders for the upcoming request to disclose archived holdings in OCLC and PAPR.

Thank you to everyone who attended and participated in the discussion. Please find the webinar presentation slides here.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the WEST Project Team.

Call for WEST Cycle 3 (2013/14) statistics underway http://www.cdlib.org/cdlinfo/2014/11/18/call-for-west-cycle-3-201314-statistics-underway/ Wed, 19 Nov 2014 00:29:50 +0000 http://www.cdlib.org/cdlinfo/?p=16708 More...]]> WEST cycle 3 statistics gathering is well underway! Thank you to everyone who has responded to our call – we greatly appreciate it.

Following each cycle, WEST collects deselection, archiving and lending/borrowing statistics from our members and Archive Holders. These statistics are important for reporting to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and for assessing the impact of the WEST program.

Currently, for the entire WEST membership, we are collecting statistics on deselection activities between July 2013 and June 2014 (i.e. cycle 3). As this is the second time that WEST has requested these statistics, we are interested in not only reviewing the cycle 3 data on its own, but also comparing it to the cycle 2 data and recent member survey responses.

From Archive Holders, WEST is collecting 2013/14 interlibrary loan activities for WEST archives and totals for cycle 3 archiving completed. From the lending statistics, WEST hopes to be able to compare data collected across cycles to begin to understand use patterns for archive types.

WEST is accepting cycle 3 statistics until Friday, December 05, 2014, and encourages members who haven’t done so already to complete the applicable statistics template (for deselection, archiving and/or lending). If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email or call.

WEST will present an overview of the cycle 2 and 3 deselection, archiving and lending/borrowing statistics at the ALA Midwinter WEST member meeting (which will be from 1:00 to 2:30 pm on Sunday, February 1, 2015 in the Hilton Chicago).

Announcing University of California Libraries’ Shared Print RoadMap 2014-2018 http://www.cdlib.org/cdlinfo/2014/11/13/announcing-university-of-california-libraries-shared-print-roadmap-2014-2018/ Thu, 13 Nov 2014 19:23:43 +0000 http://www.cdlib.org/cdlinfo/?p=16690 More...]]> The University of California Libraries recently adopted a roadmap for UC shared print activities for the next few years.

Key projects and policies that our libraries will pursue and explore include:

  • Coordinated print serials archiving to UCs two Regional Library Facilities and a deduplication service
  • A retrospective shared print monographs program
  • Coordinated digitization and print retention of State Documents
  • Disclosure of UC shared print collections in union catalogs such as OCLC WorldCat and PAPR using the OCLC Shared Print Metadata Guidelines
  • Revision of UC Libraries’ “persistence policy” to support extramural partnerships
  • Assessing existing shared print policies and projects and making adjustments to them

In addition, UC Libraries are exploring a coordinated digitization and print retention program for federal documents.

The RoadMap 2014-2018 outlines the activities the libraries will pursue to advance the system’s strategies and goals for print collaboration described in the Shared Print Strategic Plan 2013-2018.

Under the aegis of the CDL collection services, UC Shared Print coordinates collaborative activities amongst the libraries of the ten campuses of the University of California and with extramural partners. With more than 300,000 volumes collected or managed collaboratively and 50,000 volumes added annually to those collections in explicitly defined projects, as well as millions of additional holdings in its two shared storage facilities (the Southern and Northern Regional Library Facilities,) UC Libraries’ shared collections reflect its deeply engrained culture of collaboration. Through the development of shared collections, UC Libraries are able to provide the best research resources in the formats needed by our current and future researchers. UC Libraries’ shared print collections include prospectively collected and retrospectively managed journals, monographs, microforms, and art slides.
