We canceled the microfilm subscription
of New York Times and Wall Street Journal last year. We are using online full
texts from databases, such ProQuest (both for archives and current), and Ebsco.
So far there is no complains about the deletion of the micorofilms.

Subject: [SERIALST] New York Times on Microfilm
I would appreciate feedback about New York Times current
microfilm subscription to see if libraries are continuing with this, and if
not, what alternatives they are relying on for coverage.
I found a discussion thread relating to the question going
back a few years in the listserv archive, but two years seems an eternity given
changing patterns of use.
Thanks much,
