Subject: [SERIALST] Eliminating Periodicals Check-in

I am trying to find information about eliminating periodicals check-in.
I found a few articles written several years ago about this topic, but
was wondering if there is anything recent?  I read that Rick Anderson at
the U of Nevada-Reno is a big proponent of this.  Has anyone else done a
similar initiative at your library?  If so, would you mind sharing your
experience?  I an investigating this as an option here at UVA, but need
some compelling facts to make it happen.  Anything you can share would
be great!
