In these days of budget cuts and widespread serials/periodicals
cancellations, what are libraries doing with the resulting fragmentary
backruns of serials left on our shelves in the stacks? Have any
libraries been aggressively dealing with this issue? As we cancel
subscriptions it seems to me that we need to also take a look at what
we are leaving behind on our shelves. I would be interested in knowing
to what extent libraries are doing that.
