Backfile retention policies

Hi everyone,
We are a liberal arts undergraduate institution with about 2000
students. We are in a consortium with two other colleges within the
state. I would like to hear from similar libraries re: their
policies/guidelines regarding the following:
-Backfile retention of journals no longer received by the library
-For smaller satellite libraries, what stays on the shelf and what goes in
storage (specifically science libraries)
I'll summarize if there is enough interest. My thanks to Sheila
Stuckey for sending a copy of her university's collection development
manual.
