When the Rosemont Shared Print Alliance was formed in 2015, the participating shared print programs had retention commitments for approximately 45,000 journal titles. The Rosemont Alliance set a goal of adding 100,000 New Titles by 2021 and that goal has been met. We define “New Titles” as the first three journal retention commitments of each unique OCLC number, ISSN, or alternative title-level identifier. Expressed in a different way, a title is considered “New” until the Rosemont Alliance reaches three retention commitments for that title.


Collection Growth (November 2022): 210,962 total retention commitments; 187,790 "new" title commitments; 134,996 unique title commitments


Duplication (November 2022): 101,004 titles with 1 copy; 15,190 titles with 2 copies; 18,802 titles with 3 or more copies

All participants benefit from their participation in the Rosemont Shared Print Alliance. Each program participating in the Rosemont Alliance has agreed that all journals they are retaining are also retained on behalf of and available to all the Rosemont Alliance participants.
