Hello,

 

We stopped binding what remained of our print periodicals a few years ago due to budget cuts, space concerns, and reduced staff.  This academic year, our current print subscriptions are at a minimum and consists of A) art history or B) titles that faculty still want but aren’t available online.  If the titles are available in JSTOR, unless specifically requested by faculty, we discard the issues once they’re added to the archive.

Hi everyone,

 

UConn holds many unbound serials - mostly backlog, as we are down to only a handful of new print receipts. Are your libraries still binding serials? Why or why not? If you do, how do you decide which serials get bound and which get shelved permanently unbound?

 

Thanks in advance for sharing your perspectives!

 

Michael
