The Ohio State University

Goals:

• Move to electronic continuations for access and archiving (OhioLink strategy); keep print for archiving when the electronic is unavailable/not archived
• Postpone another continuation cancellation project
• Minimize continuation cost inflation damage on the budget
• Maximize collection manager control of the budget

1. Permanently available/archived electronic continuations
   A. Central (-3) funds will cover the continuing costs of one electronic copy.
   1. If a print continuation moves to e-format, or when we obtain a duplicate electronic version of a continuation received in print,
   2. only the electronic title will be transferred to central (-3) funds and subsequent prices increases covered;
   3. any print copies of the title will thereafter be funded annually with new continuation (-4) funds of the requesting collection manager(s)].

2. Not permanently available/archived electronic continuations
   B. Central (-3) funds will cover the continuing costs of one electronic copy and one print copy.
   1. If a print continuation moves to e-format or when we obtain a duplicate electronic version of a continuation received in print,
   2. central (-3) funds will cover the costs of one electronic copy and one print copy only;
   3. any additional print copies of the title will thereafter be funded annually with new continuation (-4) funds of the requesting collection manager(s).
