The Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL) and the Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC) have signed an agreement to combine the contents of their respective print journal archives under a single retention and access agreement called “Scholars Trust.” Also participating in the program is the FLorida Academic REpository (FLARE), a statewide shared collection of low use print materials from academic libraries in Florida and the Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN), a collaborative shared print project with Duke University, North Carolina State University, and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The combined title list exceeds 14,000 journal titles and more than 300,000 volumes, making the Scholars Trust archive one of the largest print journal repositories in the United States.

In addition, WRLC and ASERL libraries also agree to extend reciprocal priority Inter-Library Loan (ILL) services under this agreement.
