Stephen,
We have had JSTOR for a number of years. We still have all the bound
volumes. It might not be our library's official reason for retaining
them, but I personally am pretty sure a major reason is to keep our
volume holdings high and not lose position among the other ARL libraries.
Several years ago stacks space was becoming crowded, so we moved the
volumes represented by JSTOR to remote storage. We chose a cut off
year and moved the volumes up to that year. We did offer to retrieve
print volumes on demand and put a message on our web site to that
effect, informing users how to request them. It was linked to every
print title, and the holdings message of each title was adjusted to
inform people that the volumes up to the chosen year were in remote
storage. We offered to retrieve them twice a week. As far as I know,
there were very few requests.
We had a building project and increased the stack space, so we moved
the volumes back to the main library, by which time we had some
compact shelving in the basement for them, and for other bound
journals, which will all be there soon.
Jack
