  1. Scholars Trust at Wake Forest University Scholars Trust Show & Tell Series Carol Cramer

  2. Outline • About Wake Forest • Storage Conditions at WFU • What WFU has put in Scholars Trust

  3. About Wake Forest University • Smallest ASERL member by FTE served (7,369) • Not an ARL member • 1.4 million print volumes • Z. Smith Reynolds (ZSR) Library

  4. Storage History • Rented Storage since ~2001 • WFU-owned facility opened November 2010 • Volumes from rental space accessioned into our facility in early 2011 • Renovated warehouse • Capacity for ~300K volumes • ~50% full

  5. Storage Conditions • Fire and safety codes optimal as of 2010 standards • 60 degrees Fahrenheit • 40% humidity • Zeutschel scanner for fulfilling requests on-site

  6. More about Storage • Mobile high-bay design • First-ever mobile high-bay installation • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZZfRG9245w

  7. ASERL/Scholars Trust History • Pilot Period 2011 • Chose 5 journals • Strategy: High-use titles (measured by storage recalls) AND No backfile online

  8. 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

  9. 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. • BibIDfield (local ILS control number) added to local copy of ASERL spreadsheet – Easy matching for future weeding projects

  10. Further Protective Measures • Each volume marked with an “A” for “ASERL” • A symbol that will outlast us? • Item type status = Non-Circulating

  11. 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 CC-Licensed Photo: Marie Carter http://www.flickr.com/photos/35843806@N05/3758845499/
