Periodical storage

[Edna Schroeder <ebs@mail.moultonborough.k12.nh.us>]

Our library has kept hard copies of our magazine collection dating back
several years.  For the last two years we have been subscribing to an
online periodical database.  I ran a report of periodicals checked out
and find that this past year no hard copies were used with the exception
of National Geographics and magazines that were current.  If students
are getting all of their materials online, should we bother any longer
storing years of hard copies.  Have any of you been considering the
options on this question or making any changes?
