Hello Maureen
Here at the University of Hull space is at a premium so we have an agreed policy (confirmed with our Library User Group) of withdrawing journals where we have either purchased or subscribed to secure electronic archives. We have 7 Jstor collections - all print has been withdrawn. Where JISC have purchased secure archives on behalf of HEIs we have withdrawn print, including OUP and IOP back runs. We have also purchased several electronic archives including the entire Springer collection, some Elsevier back files and Periodical Archive Collections 1 and 2 (purchased over several years with money that we need to use up at the end of each financial year). Again all equivalent print for these collections has been withdrawn.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
Denise

Subject: [lis-e-resources] Withdrawing Print Journals which are available on JSTOR
We have gone online for all of our Nesli deals and will be withdrawing
the print from 1997 onwards where possible. However we have got to save
more shelf space and withdrawing some back runs of journals is going to
be necessary. We have not bought any backfiles so our only backfiles
really are OUP (Jisc) and several JSTOR collections. Has anyone
withdrawn backfiles because available on JSTOR? Obviously we would lose
access if we stopped subscribing to JSTOR. This is unlikely because
usage is very good. We could save quite a bit of space…
Would be interested to know what other libraries are doing and if any
have taken this "drastic" step. Will summarise for list if enough
interest
Regards
Maureen
