Hi Jim,

I'm interested in the list of volumes retained.  Our library is preparing to discard titles that can be accessible through JSTOR.

Thanks,

>Our library went through a similar procedure. Our former Assistant Director for Access and Preservation went through that list of titles and identified volumes from those titles with plates, maps, etc. that either were not digitized well in JSTOR or because they had particularly unique images, etc., the print volume was kept. I have a .doc list of those volumes that were kept if anyone is interested.
