Hi,
We retain image-intensive Art and Archaeology titles. Even if JSTOR has the right to archive these journals, you never know if copyright issues are going to cause there to
be blank boxes or entire blank pages (where artwork would be in the print version). The publisher for any given journal may not have secured the rights for digital reproduction.
Text-intensive and science journals covered by JSTOR are frequently withdrawn, unless faculty strenuously object, and the objections have been decreasing over time.

Subject: [SERIALST] Weeding of Print Titles in JSTOR Archives Products
Hi, everyone.
We subscribe to several of the JSTOR Archives packages and have done considerable amount of weeding of our print and microfilm based on our JSTOR Archives access. I have been
hesitant to weed anything that is an art journal or others that might have pictures, illustrations, or music in them. Has anyone gotten a handle on how good the images present in the print journal look compared to the same in the JSTOR content? Have any
faculty at your institutions been resistant to weeding such journals from the collection? I am going to compare some issues that have pictures, illustrations, or music and compare them, but I also wanted to get a feel for what other institutions are doing.
Sincerely,
Barbara M. Pope, MALS
