Can any of you please refer me to published "guidelines" either in a text
or article on weeding periodicals based on age, use, etc.  Sloan's Weeding
Library Collections (4th edition) does not go into much details on
periodical weeding.

The following comes to mind:

Journal weeding in relation to declining faculty member publishing.
Tony Stankus in Science and Technology Libraries. 6,3:45-53. 1986.

Stankus has written two books published by Haworth titled
MAKING SENSE OF JOURNALS ... They may provide useful guidance
in evaluating your collection.

Best wishes,
