Re: What are other institutions doing w/JSTOR and print overlapping titles?

Indiana University South Bend is also discarding print volumes for any
titles available in JSTOR. We are also following the moving wall as
necessary. We are quickly running out of space to shelve bound
periodicals. Removing JSTOR titles has greatly helped to free needed
space.

We are discarding print where there is overlap, adjusting each year as
the moving wall shifts and offering those volumes on DEU.
The justification for this is the JSTOR guarantee of access in
perpetuity.

Please excuse any cross-posting.
As with many institutions, Duquesne University is facing growing pains,
especially in our hardbound journal collection. In this email I am
asking what other institutions are doing with overlapping holdings
between JSTOR and hardbound print, i.e. storage of print, discarding
print, etc.
Thanks in advance for any input provided.
