-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [SERIALST] JSTOR Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 06:30:36 -0600 From: Jack Hall <jhall@uh.edu> To: sdclar@wm.edu Stephen, We have had JSTOR for a number of years. We still have all the bound volumes. It might not be our library's official reason for retaining them, but I personally am pretty sure a major reason is to keep our volume holdings high and not lose position among the other ARL libraries. Several years ago stacks space was becoming crowded, so we moved the volumes represented by JSTOR to remote storage. We chose a cut off year and moved the volumes up to that year. We did offer to retrieve print volumes on demand and put a message on our web site to that effect, informing users how to request them. It was linked to every print title, and the holdings message of each title was adjusted to inform people that the volumes up to the chosen year were in remote storage. We offered to retrieve them twice a week. As far as I know, there were very few requests. We had a building project and increased the stack space, so we moved the volumes back to the main library, by which time we had some compact shelving in the basement for them, and for other bound journals, which will all be there soon.
