Collections And Space: An Update On Syracuse University Libraries' Journals Migration Project, K. Matthew Dames, Roberta B. Gwilt, Scott A. Warren, T. C. Carrier

Libraries' and Librarians' Publications

To date, the Libraries have transferred to The Facility more than 100,000 volumes, including 7,000 journal titles, across all disciplines. By migrating these journals from Bird Library to The Facility, the Libraries will save the University more than $1.9 million within five years. Continued strategic use of The Facility helps the Libraries manage principal collections whose aggregate value exceeds $200 million. This paper reports on the progress of the Libraries’ journals migration project, provides additional context and data that led to the spring 2014 approval for the project from the provost.
