I am on a committee that is looking at format duplication and the retention
of duplicate materials. We are particularly interested in what libraries
are doing regarding the following areas:
1. subscriptions to both print and electronic versions of the same
publications (indexing and abstracting services, journals, etc.),
2. retention of print and microform versions,
3. retention of multiple copies of print resources (especially if one or
more copies are held in a remote storage facility rather than in the active
collections),
4. duplication of copies at different locations (branch libraries, remote
campuses, etc.)
I would appreciate your comments regarding your experiences with these or
any other relevant forms of duplication.
Thank you,
Nancy J. Butkovich
