Many thanks for replies to my “JSTOR” question I had 10 replies. 8 had withdrawn print where available on JSTOR or equivalent. One or 2 more cautious replies but not from UK sites One colleague mentioned a report from Center for Research Libraries at http://www.crl.edu/archiving-preservation/print-archives/crl-projectsA very useful report from Ithaka called “What to Withdraw: Print Collections Management in the Wake of Digitization” can be found at http://www.ithaka.org/ithaka-s-r/research/what-to-withdrawReferences were made to the UKRR partnership at http://www.ukrr.ac.uk/Again many thanks for your help Maureen >>> On 27/04/2010 at 20:02, in message <[log in to unmask]>, Maureen Richardson <[log in to unmask]> wrote: 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 Has anyone withdrawn backfiles because available on JSTOR?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 Maureen Richardson Electronic Resources Manager Information Resources Learning Resource Centre Edge Hill University St Helens Rd Ormskirk Lancashire L39 4QP [log in to unmask] Telephone: 01695 58 4684 Fax: 01695 58 4592 Edge Hill University 1885 - 2010 Shaping Futures for 125 Years Join the celebrations - http://www.edgehill.ac.uk/125 Top 10 UK University - http://www.edgehill.ac.uk/about/future/uktopten ----------------------------------------------------- This email and any attachments are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
