Hi, Kaye.
I am from the James White Library, Andrews University.  We currently take
approximately 2,800 subscriptions and have about 80,000 "Bound" volumes
in our collection.  Our student population is around 2,900.  Faculty and
staff, about 400.  We circulate our Bound volumes overnight to anyone
with a valid I.D. or library card.  We do not let patrons take out
Current issues, except by special permission to use for a class as an
illustration, etc.  We let faculty take out issues for a couple of hours
to make photo copies in their departments.  (We charge 10 cents at our
library photocopiers)  Hope this helps.
Sallie
