Printed periodical collections are a rich documentary resource. However, these collections, printed on a sometimes fragile medium, are complex to manage for libraries and require significant storage space. In addition, the great diversity of titles makes it impossible for a single institution to cover the entire documentary resource. In order to guarantee access to these collections while sharing the burden of preservation, many libraries have embarked on Periodicals Shared Preservation Plans (PCPP).
As a national agency,Abes fully supports PCPP initiatives:
- In the framework of the target-based funding defined for the Sudoc PS network, participation in a PCPP is part of the criteria for the award of grants.
- cooperation with the main operators in the field (BnF, CTLes, FILL, etc.)
- involvement in the national CollEx-Persée programme
TheAbes provides PCPP managers with:
- quality, open, freely reusable data Sudoc with a particular focus on exemplar data
- Périscope, compare your periodical collectionsThe Periodical Collection Status Viewer, a tool for viewing periodical collection statuses
List of Shared Conservation Plans for Periodicals
To facilitate access to the titles of periodicals concerned by a PCPP, a specific index (PC) has been implemented in the data Sudoc (code in brackets in the list below).

Plans for the Shared Conservation of Periodicals: a state of the art
Published in early January 2020, the study Shared conservation plans for periodicals in France: a quantitative and qualitative state of the art counts :
- 36 PCPPs: 20 regional PCPPs and 16 thematic PCPPs
- 600 libraries - members of the Sudoc or Sudoc PS networks - involved in 1 or more PCPPs
- 42,000 securities retained for all PCPPs
- 71,000 copies reported in Sudoc and located in one or more PCPPs
The study underlines the importance of the quality of descriptive data for continuing resources, and in particular that of copy data, which is the only guarantee of up-to-date collection status in the Sudoc. Périscope, compare your periodical collectionsAn example of the reuse of such enriched data is Sudoc , a tool for visualizing the collection status of periodicals available to PCPP managers.
In the framework of an operational partnership betweenAbes and the CTLes, which coordinates several thematic PCPPs, the data Sudoc are also reused by the Shared Conservation Management Database made available by the CTLes.
The study "Shared conservation plans in France: a quantitative and qualitative state of the art" is updated every year.
