Hello,
We still claim print as well, and I also consider purchasing missing issues before binding when a claimed issue does not arrive. The claiming is done on a monthly basis, but I will also submit individual claims when I see that we’ve skipped over an expected issue.

We still claim print.
We do still have a small print browsing collection, but the reason we still claim our print serials is because most of what we have left in print is stuff we absolutely want. E-access is either not available, not of an acceptable quality, or doesn't have acceptable terms (post cancellation access is of particular concern in these cases). This mostly includes foreign material, material for our art library, and local publications for our North Carolina Collection.

We still have many subscriptions that are print only (art & arch.) so I still submit claims twice a month - sometimes sooner by email if the title is foreign or weekly. Most of our claims are answered and I continue to follow up on any that aren't. My ebsco CSR probably gets tired of me but we are able to resolve most problems. The longest claim resolution came 3 years after my first claim but I stayed persistent. I can't stand to bind incomplete so I will sometimes personally purchase (cheap) issues from Amazon or eBay if I absolutely cannot obtain it through DEU.

As a spin-off of sorts to the recent thread on Serials Assistant duties, I would be curious to hear from any libraries that have decided to cease the practice of claiming serials and the reasoning behind your decision and how it has gone for you.
Feel free to reply here or contact me directly.
Thanks much.
Chris
