Hi,

 

Here at the University of Baltimore Law Library we currently have 37 active print journal subscriptions.  We just recently cancelled 10 journal titles that can be found online.  We do not track statistics on print usage, and we only barcode our journals when they come back from the bindery.  There are a couple titles that get routed to professors.

Hi,

 

I am wondering how many print serials subscriptions other institutions have? I work at a small, private institution and we have about 80 current print subscriptions. This number seems high to me considering they do not get used very often. We only keep 30 or so on the display shelf. Also, do you track statistics on print usage? We do not barcode our serials, so I’m wondering if there are other effective ways to track usage.

 

I am guessing this topic has been discussed before, so if there is somewhere else I can locate this type of information, please feel free to let me know!

Thank you,

Amanda
