Shared Print Repository - Activities
Shared Print Repository - Activities
Activities to date have allowed the Big Ten Academic Alliance members to develop thoughtful, functional guidelines for selecting, moving, and processing materials from a number of libraries' local collections to one common location, without losing any of the access, findability, or reliability libraries require.
2018: Shared Collections, Locally and Nationally
- Continuing to build the collection at Illinois while closing out the collection at Indiana
- Working with other regional shared print programs to nurture shared journals collections nationally
- Added the JRNL portal to foster member access to holdings and information
2017: Phase II Begins
- Agreements signed to begin a second 250,000 volume collection, to be hosted at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUSP)
- Collection building winds down at Indiana
- Illinois begins committing on-site content for commitment
- Holdings information updated in PAPR and CICme
2014-2017: Building the Collection
- Ingested volumes into the Indiana University (IULSP) collection, totaling more than 6,000 titles.
- The Collections Working Group scoped ingest-eligible content beyond the major science journal publishers, including society publishers, other widely held, digitally accessible journals already on site, and the National Union Catalog.
2013: Collaborative Ingest Begins
- First batch upload of Big Ten Academic Alliance-SPR records appeared in WorldCat under symbol IULSP
- First transfer of content from a supplying institution to the Big Ten Academic Alliance-SPR facility
- Small-scale pilot of gap-fill process
