Re: [LM_NET] SEC: TARGET Hard copy periodical subscriptions

[Donna Steel Cook <donnasteelcook@YAHOO.COM>]

Paul, do you check out magazines to students? Our hard copy magazines are more 
popular than ever.  And now I've got the teachers clamoring to check them out when 
they come off display each month.  I'm thinking about increasing our magazine 
subscriptions, but I've run out of display space.  I subscribe to 40 titles for a 
school of 500 kids and 35 teachers.

Subject: SEC: TARGET Hard copy periodical subscriptions

It is getting to be time (already) to begin planning next year's budget.
We currently spend a significant amount on periodical subscriptions (we
subscribe to 27).  With the exception of the occasional recreational reader
of People, Seventeen, and EGW, they don't seem to be being used.   Nearly
all of them are indexed (with full text) in the on-line databases to which
we subscribe.


My question (and I do have one) is, what is the collective wisdom of this
group regarding the continuation of hard copy periodical subscriptions?

Please respond off list and I'll post a hit of the responses on Thursday.

TIA,
Paul

desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man.
