Hi,
I am not sure how most of you work this, but we send out a
list to the teachers at the beginning of the year and ask
them which periodicals they would like routed their way.
We also purchase titles that we know the students will
enjoy. If no one requests a title that year, we do not
order it the next year. Also, any subscriptions that can
come to teachers through EBSCO Host (they send an email if
you sign up), we no longer order. This has made a huge
savings for the professional magazines.
