Do those items still see any use? How easy is it for a student or faculty member to get a volume if they need it?

Subject: Re: [ALCTS-acqnet] Binding serials
We're still binding. We send all older periodicals to a high density storage facility which has a shelving tray system. Everything needs to be barcoded for the inventory software in order to be retrievable (photo at https://www.flickr.com/photos/zsrlibrary/5494368859/in/album-72157624477424107/ ).

Hi everyone,
UConn holds many unbound serials - mostly backlog, as we are down to only a handful of new print receipts. Are your libraries still binding serials? Why or why not? If you do, how do you decide which serials get bound and which get shelved permanently unbound?
Thanks in advance for your perspectives!
