We too have weeded based on our JSTOR Archives packages.  We did make some decisions to keep some print, a few in art and a few older things that had wonderful illustrations.  Decisions were made by our Art Librarian who also covers  Apparel Textile and Design.  We probably only have 4-5 titles total that we kept the print issues.

Subject: [SERIALST] Weeding of Print Titles in JSTOR Archives Products
 
Hi, everyone.

We subscribe to several of the JSTOR Archives packages and have done considerable amount of weeding of our print and microfilm based on our JSTOR Archives access.  I have been hesitant to weed anything that is an art journal or others that might have pictures, illustrations, or music in them.  Has anyone gotten a handle on how good the images present in the print journal look compared to the same in the JSTOR content?  Have any faculty at your institutions been resistant to weeding such journals from the collection?  I am going to compare some issues that have pictures, illustrations, or music and compare them, but I also wanted to get a feel for what other institutions are doing.

Sincerely,

Barbara M. Pope, MALS
