Disposition of print runs of periodicals licensed electronically
Dear Colleagues,
Like most of us, I am experiencing a major shortage of stack space. Unfortunately, I cannot afford off-site storage, so I am trying to evaluate the efficacy of deaccessioning long runs of periodicals that we get through JSTOR. I have talked to some book dealers and it sounds like even complete runs of serials like Burlington Magazine or Apollo are all but worthless on the market. I have some reservations about deaccessioning content that we only license and ergo do not own, but am getting some pressure to do so. I wanted to ask what others in this position have done.
Many thanks,
Eric
