Since our Compact Storage is in our climate-controlled basement we will eventually store almost all of our print resource that are also available online.  It’s no problem to retrieve them if necessary.  If your storage is offsite, you have to consider demand and convenience.

Good morning,

 

Our library is currently in process of selecting journal titles for storage. I see a lot in the literature about basing storage decisions on coverage in JSTOR, and occasionally Project Muse, but nothing about other databases. We’ve already stored titles held in JSTOR, and now are considering storage of content  covered by EBSCO’s Art Source and Proquest Research Library.

 

I understand that content is JSTOR is more stable – it is unwise to consider storage of content covered by these other databases?

 

Many thanks for any input,

Detta
