The WEST project team recently sent out a call via email 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 13 and in earlier cycles to capture any cataloging updates or changes to your local records. WEST asks that Archive Holders and Builders submit these records to AGUA by May 31, 2024.
Read on for more details on how to submit your archiving disclosures.
In February 2024, the WEST Executive Committee approved a proposal to shift from a committee leadership structure of Subcommittees to a Steering Committee. The Executive Committee also approved updates to the committee’s composition
