Hi,

We are keeping fewer and fewer magazines because of the availabiity of so
many online.  Our circulation statistics show a big decline in the number
of periodicals checked out, but the kids are still getting the inforamtion.

 We use Middle Search and ProQuest at our school.  But, we do not throw out
the popular leisure reading magazine that middle school kids like until
they fall apart.

 We also stopped subscribing to hard copies of many magazines that are only
used for research.

I think hanging on to magaiznes if they are not used is creating extra work
because of the time involved in storing them.
