You might want to search the SERIALST archives for previous discussions.  In our library, we no longer check in newspapers, items with limited retention (such as newsletters), and items archived in microform.

I would like to hear briefly if you have stopped checking in journals and how that is working for you.

Also, if you stopped and then started again, what are the reasons for doing so.

Thank you.
