We prefer bound material as it holds up better.

Since  our library addresses communication and computation and other engineering history, the material we have we intend to keep forever.

 

Many times  when we need a copy of an ad  to go in an equipment display in the museum portion of the building   the quality I can get by taking a photo or scanning the ad is far better than  the online  version.

 

We love the  online  search  of  online  material but  really... when  you want to study it....personally  I prefer not  to do it on the screen!

 

We are always looking  for   journals   related to early communications and broadcasting of any form, and also early  computation.

Hi,

 

Could you all help me come up with reasons to continue binding periodicals?  I have some (saving money-rather than putting security strips in every issue, security, being fiscally responsible with state money, etc.), but I’m looking for more to make my case.  Last year, I was only able to send out 200 items, and my director didn’t really want me to send that much.  We have overflowing shelves and really need to send more out.

 

Thanks in advance!

Mykie
