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.

Large Folios (LF) should not be confused with Folios (F) which are located on Level 2, and are freely accessible during opening times.
