ASERL is a consortium of 36 academic libraries in the Southeastern United States. ASERL is studying a plan whereby ASERL libraries would guarantee to retain specified sets of journals based on selected publishers, as a "bank" so that other libraries could consider deaccessioning their copies of the same item. A Study Group is expected to issue recommendations in spring 2010.
CARLI is a consortium serving 153 academic libraries in Illinois. Under this pilot project, CARLI members who own the last copy of library materials in Illinois may donate those items to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). The purpose of the pilot is to determine the amount of material involved and the complexity of processing necessary.

Cornell University and other partners, on behalf of the U.S. Agricultural Information Network (USAIN) and in cooperation with other land grant university libraries, has received three grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to preserve the most significant published materials on the history of state and local agriculture and rural life from 1820-1945. While this is primarily a preservation microfiliming initiative, the agreement states that original material will be retained in the collection as long as the material is usable.

WRLC is a consortium of 8 university libraries in Washington DC, with a shared library storage facility containing about 1.3 million volumes.

The Western North Carolina Libraries Network has developed a distributed print system for JSTOR titles already held within their system. Titles are redistributed to the library with the most holdings and housed there for preservation. The library with the most holdings is designated the network DRL (Designated Retaining Library). The DRL agrees to keep copies of JSTOR print/microform serials and then inform and obtain consent from the other two libraries if they wish to weed either print or microform JSTOR titles. All 3 libraries have access to all JSTOR collections except for the Additional Collections (e.g. 19th Century British Pamphlets). All JSTOR titles that are held are represented in their shared online catalog and can be accessed there or through the JSTOR portal by authorized users at the three libraries.
