The Physical Sciences Library here at Dartmouth has about 160 print subscriptions left. Some we subscribe to about 20 just for current popular reading, the
rest are because we can’t get them online. We do still bind our journals, and also keep use statistics. If it is not barcoded we write it on a notepad, noting the title, and issue number. We use these statistics to determine our spending, and each year
look for opportunities to convert more to digital subscriptions.

We still get a few dozen print subscriptions, mostly in the area of veterinary medicine, which is an area in which we are the regional Library of Record so we consider that we need to keep the
print long-term. Most of these are print+online for current access, but preservation is the main point of getting the print.
Several more are local publications that have no online equivalent and also are part of our local "special collections" (we are also the library of record for PEI related materials).
