UKRR saves space in libraries by de-duplicating print journals.
The British Library accepts offered journal issues to fill gaps in its own stock, thereby enhancing the national collection; providing ongoing access onsite in the Reading Rooms or remotely via British Library On Demand.
We accept academic print journals, in a robust and stable condition, suitable for continued use.
For access and preservation, the scarcity process ensures a copy of every print journal offered is held at the British Library, and another within the UKRR community.
