University of Texas Libraries Policies and Guidelines #26
Duplicate Periodical Backfiles Policy
The University of Texas Libraries will normally bind or otherwise
retain only one backfile of a periodical. Exceptions will be based on:
used demand and convenience, available space, and cost. The location of
the retained copy will be determined by the bibliographers involved.
Requests to duplicate a backfile will be referred to
the Associate Director of Research Services, who will seek the advice
of the Collection Development Committee. Requests to duplicate a backfile
in microform will be given preference over requests to duplicate in
hardcopy.
Recommended by Collection Development Committee, March 15, 1979.
Reviewed by Department Heads, March 21, 1979, Administrative Group, April
24, 1979. Approved by Director Harold Billings, May 2, 1979.
