Ditto... If the issues are flimsy, they stay in plastic Princeton files in
the current shelving.  If more substantial, we slap on a sticker that says
"Shelve with bound periodicals" and send them to that area.  At present we
only have three Arts & Sciences collections.

Hello,

We have just started this process ourselves at James Madison
University.  If possible, we are leaving them on the current shelves.
But most of them will find their way to our bound journals shelving
where they will be kept in upright boxes as loose issues until available
on JSTOR.
