OR

Where bibliographic records have met the criteria outlined above, identify and submit holdings records for print format holdings only; please exclude any holdings records for non-print formats, i.e., microform or e-resources.

WEST instructions for WEST Cycles 14 & 15 unarchived holdings, extracted from guides & emails
Note: this apparently SHOULDN’T include our Archived (Committed to retain) titles.
...
Deadline Friday October 20 email text instructions:
(red text is Melanie’s highlighting)
Dear WEST members,
WEST is getting ready to identify the next round of archiving priorities for archiving Cycles 14 & 15! As we did in Cycles 12 & 13, we are inviting all WEST Members to submit files of MARC bibliographic and holdings data for your print serials collections by Friday, October 20, to seed our next collections analysis.
All WEST Members are invited to participate in the collections analysis to continue the success of our work identifying journals that have previously been overlooked for archiving and ensure they continue to be available for students and scholars into the future. In the recent Future of WEST Survey, members overwhelmingly supported a recommendation to consolidate historical Full and Supporting memberships into one standard individual membership model. This change results in equal benefits and options for participation to all members while also allowing WEST to continue the practice begun in Cycles 12 & 13 to diversify the collections and leverage the full potential of WEST members’ collections for the benefit of all.
If you’ve submitted files in the past, we request that you send a new file of your unarchived holdings, rather than resending a file submitted for any previous analysis cycles, to ensure that we are using your most up-to-date holdings information in the analysis. If you are not planning to participate in this year’s collections analysis, please inform me at anna.striker@ucop.edu.

We only sent one location (Serials: BARN journals) to WEST, so we don’t need to do much, except:
To complete this step, log in to AGUA and open the Set Storage Location and Exclusion Flags page:
...
That will open up the page of your locations. Since you do want us to analyze the holdings in the location and I assume you'd also like us to make archiving proposals to you if your holdings meet the OCC's analysis criteria, you would only select to exclude the location from Builder proposal (since USU is not an Archive Builder), like this:
...
Then you just click the Approve button and that submits your selection.
