I've been reviewing the archives and found many relevant responses from
Serialst members.  The latest messages that I found however were from
2004.  We are re-evaluating how we treat CD's or DVD's received from
publishers when those items duplicate print serial holdings.

How are these materials processed in your library?  Is there enough
value added, especially if the CD covers a span of years of a title,
to
retain both the print and the CD?  If only one is retained, is the
print
preferred?  If you toss the electronic media, do you just toss them
without verifying content?

Thanks for your insight and advice.  Please respond off list to my
colleague June at: jschmidt@library.msstate.edu
