While there may be some professional insights to gain from this list in
asking if we should have magazines, I think this is really more of a
local decision. Before discontinuing magazines, see how well they are
used in the Media Center. Do students read them? If you've got a
population that doesn't particularly like to read or that doesn't read
well, you may want to keep some magazines that will interest them,
especially for boys.
Also, what kind of online access do your students have, both at school
and at home? If they have a lot of access at home, they probably don't
need a lot of publications at school. Do your teachers use old
magazines for projects? Do you have journals available in databases
that you're also subscribing to in print? Has you budget been cut so
that you need to reduce magazine subscriptions?
