Since our budget for purchase any online backfiles, we tried to keep whatever we have if they are still within our teaching program’s fields.

Each year, we will check the online accessibilities of the titles from our print/bind collections and will remove any title if online is available. We are lucky still to have enough shelf space for hosting some of the bind volumes.

Subject: [SERIALST] retention schedules for journals?

Hello, everyone.

I was wondering if any of you have experience developing retention schedules for journals when you have limited space to keep bound volumes. The titles I am dealing with are not in JSTOR Archives, but are primarily scholarly journals in print format. How did you decide the length of time that you need to retain titles?

Sincerely,
