I added my university also: 15,931 FTE, 489 print-only and 141 print+online subscriptions for total of 630. Currently doing a review to see how many print we can cancel and may be able to change less than 100 to online-only for 2017. When we change to online-only we look for titles that provide perpetual access and obtain a license with the publisher to ensure that access. We have already changed many titles to online-only over the past several years.

I added my university: Approximately 14,000 full time enrollment, 594 print subscriptions , 195 print and online subscriptions. (I hope to cut those numbers in half for our 2017 subscriptions). Approximately 1600 individual 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
