I have several years of TIME and Newsweek, but have gotten rid of most
others. I keep these for those times when the technology goes
down, and this year it has been worse than ever. I've had teachers
bringing classes in for research who couldn't get on our databases due
to server crashes, so we've put the kids into the print magazines for
some topics. This helped keep the teachers (social and science) on
schedule. I would be glad to get over the paranoia of technology
going down, but our system just isn't reliable enough at the moment.
So the print magazines will stay until I know I can access information
on our computers at any minute of any day...and I don't expect that
to be a guarantee anytime soon, unfortunately. Be grateful if you have
reliable technology and expert tech staff that allows you to throw out
print resources...these don't exist everywhere yet.
Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles,
discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes
the strong soul from the weak. Thomas Carlyle
