Hello -

I am in the process of researching the issue of deselecting paper versions
of serials which a library receives in electronic formats. I would be very
interested in any thoughts, experiences, ideas you could share with me on
this topic. I am looking for two things in particular:

1. What goes into making the decision to deselect - money, space, usage,
indexing.

2. Have your written collection development policies been updated to
reflect this process? (I would be especially grateful for any reference to
collection development policies up on the WWW or where I could read a copy
of the deselection policy!)

I am interested in hearing from all types of libraries. Any thoughts on the
issue would be greatly appreciated. Respond to  me personally and I will
summarize for the list if there is interest.

Thanks in advance for your help!
