Jim,
Could you copy the text from the .doc file and paste it into an e-mail to
the whole list.  I'd be interested in seeing it too.

Thanks!
Mykie

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.

Last year, I attended the NASIG Annual Conference. At the meeting, a
representative from Jstor gave an impressive presentation about Jstor
project. According to the presentation, the information I got is that Jstor
has very good plans of digitizing all the issues of the titles in its list.
>From that time on, I realized there is no reason for our library to continue
keeping the bind volumes if they are on Jstor. And we stopped binding any
more volumes of Jstor titles. All the current issues (about 5 years) will be
kept in shelves until they are in Jstor.
We did not ask around whether any libraries will need the bind volumes
assuming academic libraries all subscribe Jstor. But if the foreign country
libraries still accept the bind volumes, please let me know, and we are
willing to ship to them.

The same situation is with our microfilms and microfiches of Jstor
titles.

How did you find the library in the Middle East, and does anyone know of any
other libraries currently willing to pay shipping for free JSTOR titles?

Thanks!

Julie,
Lycoming College has withdrawn our print volumes that are included in JSTOR.
Each spring we pull the volumes that have been added to JSTOR, too.

We are a small liberal arts college with no graduate programs.  We were
early
enough in the process that we were able to sell many of them, and another
large group of the volumes went to a library in the Middle East that was
willing and able to pay for shipping.

Hope this helps in your study.  If you have further questions, feel free to
get back to me. Sue Beidler Head of Collection Management

Hello,

I am currently working as a graduate assistant for Millie Jackson, Head of
Collection Development at Florida State University, and I am researching
information about what other libraries are doing with their JSTOR print
collections.

Thank you for any information you can provide.
