Hello, everyone. 

We have bound volumes of Chemical Abstracts beginning with volume 1 published in 1907, but I am not sure of the rest of our holdings as they were never checked into our ILS.  We are wondering if other universities and colleges that also subscribe to SciFinder find retaining the print volumes to be of value. If you do retain them, do you consider that the coverage in SciFinder is not comprehensive enough or does not go back far enough?  If you did decide to weed, do you now consider SciFinder indexing to be adequate for your institution's needs?  Are there other reasons you have decided to retain or discard the print volumes.  Thank you for your help.  Apologies for later cross posting this message to other lists.  

Sincerely,

--
