Hi all,

 

We’ve converted a bunch of our journals to electronic-only and are no longer binding titles that are in the JSTOR collections. However, we are still faced with binding the issues for around 1,800 titles.  We are putting a task force together to see if the majority of those titles can be placed in Princeton boxes or similar containers instead of being bound.  If you have undergone a similar project would you mind sending me info on how you tackled it and what criteria you used to decide one way or the other? 

 

Thanks.
