Hi,

 

My library is undergoing the planning stages of a renovation and it looks like we’ll have to withdraw or store a lot of bound periodicals.

 

In looking at some of the longer periodical runs, I’m finding journals that say they’re in PubMed Central. For example, Biochemical Journal’s website says “Secure online archive and public deposit is available via PubMed Central (PMC)”.

 

Now my question is, would it be OK to withdraw the long print run, as we have done with many JSTOR-covered titles? Has anybody else faced this decision and if so, what information did you find and what conclusion did you come to?

 

Thanks,
