<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We are also finding very minimal use of the magazines, so it’s rarely an emotional decision to cut a subscription. Faculty have been more often than not (in the past two years) of the mind to say “We don’t need
this anymore.” I imagine they are dealing with so much digital content (online magazines, blogs, etc.) that there is relatively high quality, free content out there that represents what used be fulfilled by the magazines.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I am curious how you curate your Magazine/Journal collections and what you base your decisions on for selecting or deselecting. There hasn’t been a real firm guideline here at RTC and, although we do circulate
our magazines, they aren’t a real hot item.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Do you have a policy or guideline that you could share that shows how you manage your magazine selections?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Anything would help<o:p></o:p></span></p>
