Jim, Could you copy the text from the .doc file and paste it into an e-mail to the whole list. I'd be interested in seeing it too. Thanks!

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.

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.

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.
