ASERL/Scholars Trust History
• Pilot Period 2011• Chose 5 journals• Strategy: High-use titles (measured by storage
recalls) AND No backfile online
ASERL/Scholars Trust History
Main Strategy: • Wiley-Blackwell titles for which WFU had not yet
bought backfiles• 176 total titles (i.e. lines in spreadsheet)• Most titles have fixed end dates for storage• E-only starting around 2004
Protective Measures
• 583 Note added to MARC record: “This title is in the ASERL Print Journal Archive.” (will have enhanced version by 2016)
• ASERL designation corresponded with Storage intake – Gap info should be accurate
• However, most volumes listed as “Bibliographic” on the spreadsheet.
• BibID field (local ILS control number) added to local copy of ASERL spreadsheet – Easy matching for future weeding projects
Further Protective Measures
• Each volume marked with an “A” for “ASERL”
• A symbol that will outlast us?
• Item type status = Non-Circulating
Will we weed thanks to Scholars Trust?
• Actively weeding non-Scholars-Trust journals
• Criteria: Archival backfile (JSTOR, Elsevier, Springer, etc.)
• Considering ACS/APS thanks to Scholars Trust overlap
