WEST Access Policy
• WEST Access Guidelines
– Basic assumptions about the WEST archives
– Terms of access and delivery
– Statistics to track
• Key Features
– WEST Archive Holders agree to lend WEST materials to WEST member
libraries (and may also lend WEST materials to non-WEST libraries).
– The WEST lending library may use its own local lending policies to
administer WEST loans, including loan period, fees (if any), and restrictions
on number of items lent.
– Scans/photocopies preferred, physical volumes for in-library use only.
– Archive Holders may lend Bronze volumes to their own patrons for use
outside the library.
WEST Lending
• WEST Archive Holders have “shared print” OCLC symbols to identify their
WEST holdings (and any others).
• There is an OCLC Group Access Capability (GAC) for WEST, a grouping of all
WEST member libraries’ OCLC symbols.
• All WEST members are able to view each other's bibliographic, local
holdings and summary holdings records through FirstSearch using the
GAC, and the group (GAC) may be used to control lending through the
Policies Directory.
Implementing WEST Lending
• Define entries in the OCLC Policies Directory for the shared print symbol
• Update supplier status to indicate “supplier” (Check “OCLC Supplier”).
• For “Copy” policy, enter policies related to delivery of physical or digital
copies.
• For “Loan” policy:
– If you provide loans of these volumes in general, enter your usual loan
policies.
– If you will loan WEST volumes only to WEST members (by library
policy), create a deflection rule for Loans with a “deflection exception”
to include the WEST GAC (i.e. deflect all loan requests made to the
shared print symbol except those coming from a WEST GAC member).
Implementing WEST Borrowing
• Add “WEST” to your Affiliation list in OCLC Constant Data,
so WEST will automatically display on borrowing requests
• If you maintain Custom Holdings groups (such as “Free
Loans”), add any appropriate WEST shared print symbols to
those lists
• WEST materials designated by symbols with non-supplier
status may lend under their original symbol only. Check the
Policies Directory.
• For ILLIAD, add WEST symbols to the Address Book. Create
a WEST group, and “tag” WEST libraries’ address book
entries to mark them as part of this group.
JRNL participation
• Journal Retention and Needs Listing (JRNL), facilitates “Needs and Offers”
• WEST Implementation planned for Summer 2015
• Bronze Archive Holders are not required to actively fill gaps but are
expected to receive gaps when offered
• Archive Holders will be able to expose archived holdings in JRNL to
facilitate “Needs and Offers”; Holders will be able to download formatted
archived title reports from AGUA for import into JRNL
• JRNL facilitates offers/communications
• Allows Holders to access a larger community of potential “offerers”
