Hi,

 

We're currently reviewing our newspaper collection in the Library.

We take the 5 'broadsheet' (not so broad anymore) dailies and keep them
all on a rolling 6 months, other than the Financial Times which is kept
for a year.

 

However, it is felt that back issues other than the current week are not
used, especially as we have a subscription to Lexis Newspapers, and the
availability of other online news services.

 

Do other Academic Libraries still take daily newspapers and, if so, how
long are back issues kept for?

 

I can summarise replies for the list.

 

Thanks,

Kathryn
