Similarly, we are down to about 40 print serials (FTE 1865). Some are of local interest (Baltimore Magazine, Maryland Historical Magazine), several are foreign language titles not readily available online, and
the remainder are selected for browsing value, such as Psychology Today, Ms. Magazine, Rolling Stone, Time, etc.

We get about 500 subscriptions through EBSCO, some of which are online-only; some are print standing orders. I would say at least half of the subs are print periodicals,
if not more. This has of course declined year after year with me trying to move stuff to online only (if appropriate) or periodicals going that way on their own.
We are a small private liberal arts school, ~2,000 undergrads and a handful of grad students in a teaching program.

Subject: [SERIALST] Print Serials Subscriptions
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
