Project for the Cooperative Retention of Nursing and Allied Health Journal Titles
Goals
- To insure enhanced coverage of and access to the journal literature in allied health and nursing.
- To allow academic libraries in Virginia to develop core collections to support curricular and
research needs while relying on other sources for journals that fall outside the institution's core.
Objective
- To create and maintain an in-state core collection of journal literature in nursing and allied
health.
Description
- The project consists of the willingness of participating libraries to retain their holdings
of and provide access to a core collection of journals in allied health and nursing.
- The Brandon-Hill lists for allied health and nursing were used to identify the core collection,
comprising 151 titles (70 in allied health and 81 in nursing). Participants number 16 libraries, of which
4 are independent colleges. Participants cover the span from community colleges to graduate research institutions.
Commitment Summary
- Each holding library agrees to retain their current subscription and backfile for each title
specified until December 31, 2000 or as long as is practicable; and,
- Provide document delivery service to VIVA libraries for the specified titles
