This past summer we went to a policy for JSTOR titles that we will keep
only the current 5 years.  We have a few departments that felt we needed to
keep all of our back issues so we do so for their subject areas.  We had a
major discard project this past summer due to this change in retention for
JSTOR titles.  When we do our binding each summer, I will now just put the
past year's issue with the bound periodicals without binding, stored in
Princeton files.  We are aware that the embargo period for JSTOR titles
varies and thought it would be easiest to just have one retention policy of
5 years.
