The Center for Research Libraries will work with OCLC on a two year grant (July 2018-July 2020) from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to make accessible actionable data for shared print serials management. The plan will build on the underlying infrastructure of the OCLC WorldCat database and CRL’s Print Archives Preservation Registry (PAPR), enabling registration of print serial retention commitments in WorldCat while supporting further development of CRL's capability to collect and manage serial holdings data in PAPR. This initiative will accomodate new content and processses for archiving print serials.
