abstract

The Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL) has instituted a distributed print archive program to share the costs and effort of long-term retention of print journals. Beginning with a review of the history of the project, the authors address the voluntary nature of participation in the program, methodologies for identifying journals to be retained, as well as methodologies for tagging retained journals so that an accurate record of current decisions is maintained over the twenty-five year length of the commitment. Policies and procedures continue to evolve as participation increases and lessons are learned with each step.
