Hi All,

I’m wondering about people’s thoughts on weeding print journals whose archives are open access?

For example, some large publishers like Elsevier have open archives with a moving wall (like JSTOR):

Are you confident enough that these archives will remain open in the long term to weed the print volumes? Or are you concerned that they might put up a paywall at some point?

Thanks.
