UKRR is a collaborative distributed national research collection managed by a partnership between the Higher Education sector and the British Library. It allows Higher Education libraries to de-duplicate their print journal holdings of a title if two copies are held by other UKRR members, ensuring continued access to low-use print journals, whilst allowing libraries to release space to meet the changing needs of their users.
