An ongoing project to withdraw print journals where LMU owns the electronic volumes and has access to a collaborative archive of print volumes if needed.

Main

This guide provides project status and updated statistics for the Basement Journals Withdrawal Project, ongoing work to consolidate storage space in the basement that is a subset of the library’s Sustainable Collection Growth project. This journals project is focused on reducing the number of retained print journal volumes based on duplication with perpetual electronic access and ongoing access to a print backup via the WEST project.
