Hello, Amanda.

We currently maintain print subscriptions to 302 titles - limited to titles where electronic equivalents are unavailable, or electronic format impacts use (eg. art journals).  FTE is approx. 5000.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Sincerely,

Jennifer O’Brien

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
