Mary:  We are also in the process of evaluating for online only when available, but as long as we have the room (which right now we do) I expect we will continue to check in/place on current shelf.  We are also still binding most of our titles - we'll see how long that continues too.

Cheers-

Good morning!!

We're facing further staff reductions and I'm trying to find ways for us
to spend our precious time on things that really matter.

We've been moving subscriptions to online only where economically
feasible, but we still receive titles where online only is not an
option.  We know that our print titles don't get used, we've got numbers
that tell us so.  I've suggested that we not check in the print issue of
our print+ subscriptions.  We have 41 such titles.

My supervisor would like to know if others have done this and if there
have been any ramifications, so I am asking you.

Thanks for your help,

Mary
