Good morning,

 

I’m very interested in the responses to this question.  We have 1907-2000 in print housed in the general collection and also have SciFinder.  Our libraries are experiencing space issues and every so often I bring up the topic of weeding Chem Abstracts.  We have access to some offsite storage through the university, but hesitate to move collections there since it is almost 2 years into a 5 year lease of that space and there is no guarantee past that time. 

 

Best,

Carol

Hi Barbara,

 

We have from 1907-1992 with most of it in print except for the first 10 years being on microfilm. We also have SciFinder; however, we’re holding on to the physical materials since historically there have been faculty requests to keep them despite the coverage online. We house them in our offsite storage and since we’re not hurting for space yet it hasn’t been a problem but they do take up a full wall. All of our other abstracts were weeded a few years ago. I’m interested in hearing from those who have weeded Chem Abstracts.

 

Best,

Amy
