Dear Mr. Jim Latchney:
I will be very interested in the list of titles for your library to keep
the print volumes even they are on Jstor. As soon as I get the list, I
will check our collection and perhaps, I need to keep those print
titles, too.
I want to reply to you directly, but there is no email address I can do.
Thank you.

Our library went through a similar procedure. Our former Assistant
Director for Access and Preservation went through that list of titles
and identified volumes from those titles with plates, maps, etc. that
either were not digitized well in JSTOR or because they had particularly
unique images, etc., the print volume was kept. I have a .doc list of
those volumes that were kept if anyone is interested.

Last year, I attended the NASIG Annual Conference. At the meeting, a
representative from Jstor gave an impressive presentation about Jstor
project. According to the presentation, the information I got is that
Jstor has very good plans of digitizing all the issues of the titles in
its list. From that time on, I realized there is no reason for our
library to continue keeping the bind volumes if they are on Jstor. And
we stopped binding any more volumes of Jstor titles. All the current
issues (about 5 years) will be kept in shelves until they are in Jstor.
We did not ask around whether any libraries will need the bind volumes
assuming academic libraries all subscribe Jstor. But if the foreign
country libraries still accept the bind volumes, please let me know, and
we are willing to ship to them.
The same situation is with our microfilms and microfiches of Jstor
titles.

How did you find the library in the Middle East, and does anyone know of
any other libraries currently willing to pay shipping for free JSTOR
titles?
Thanks!

Julie,
Lycoming College has withdrawn our print volumes that are included in
JSTOR. Each spring we pull the volumes that have been added to JSTOR,
too.
We are a small liberal arts college with no graduate programs. We were
early enough in the process that we were able to sell many of them, and
another large group of the volumes went to a library in the Middle East
that was willing and able to pay for shipping.
Hope this helps in your study. If you have further questions, feel free
to get back to me. Sue Beidler Head of Collection Management

Hello,
I am currently working as a graduate assistant for Millie Jackson, Head
of Collection Development at Florida State University, and I am
researching information about what other libraries are doing with their
JSTOR print collections.
Thank you for any information you can provide.
