We canceled all of our microfilm in 2004 and have had no patron
objection that I am aware of.

Subject: Re: [SERIALST] Do you still keep subscription of microfilms of
New York Times and Wall Street J. ?

It is time for our library to renew our microfilm subscriptions now. I
just wonder whether the other academic libraries still subscribe the
microfilms of the two newspapers if they are available online from
databases such as ProQuest, which the library subscribes too.

I am thinking of canceling the microfilms which means we will stop the
collection of these two newspapers since they published. I am not sure
this is a correct decision or not. I would appreciate it very much if
you please share with me about your libraries decisions.

Thank you.
