Kent State participates in JSTOR. At this point we are retaining the print titles, but we do bind and ship them offsite to our regional depository which we share with several other academics here in NE Ohio. We are currently reconsidering this policy, but have made no decision yet. I would also be interested to see what other libraries are considering.

We have added our first JSTOR collection and I have a couple of questions.  I've noticed on my exchange listserv that JSTOR titles are offered.

I would like to know if your library participates in JSTOR:

1.  Do you retain your print titles that are availalbe in JSTOR?
     a.  Why?
     b.  Why not?
