Call for Cycle 14 Archiving Disclosures

The WEST Cycle 14 disclosure period is now open!

The WEST project team recently sent out a call for WEST Archive Holders and Builders to submit records of all materials archived for WEST to CDL via the file upload tool in AGUA. WEST asks that members include records for all materials archived for WEST in Cycle 14 and in earlier cycles to capture any cataloging updates or changes to your local records and ensure WEST’s records are aligned with local records. Archivers should also submit records to OCLC WorldCat to make retention commitments visible and discoverable to a wider audience. 

WEST asks that Archive Holders and Builders submit these records to AGUA by May 31, 2025. (Please provide records to OCLC separately on a schedule convenient for your library; it is strongly recommended that this is done around the same time.)

Please note that the WEST project team will provide files to CRL for inclusion in the Print Archives Preservation Registry (PAPR), so WEST archivers do not need to send files separately to CRL.

Questions about the Cycle 14 Disclosure period and disclosure requirements should be directed to Nika Burns Teshin (nika.worth@ucop.edu).
