We are also doing a similar project for the JSTOR titles; however, we are
keeping one print copy for those titles with multiple holdings across
grounds.  For those volumes that get withdrawn, we send them to our local
surplus office where they get sold. We are not removing any covers; however,
we do mark through the property stamp and barcodes.

Often we are running into problems with missing issues; therefore we don't
have a complete set of some titles.  It would be nice to know if some other
library has the same title and we can get their volumes to fill our gaps.
