> Greetings,
> Is anyone "letting go" of print indexes and abstracts for space and 
> online considerations? Ex., sociological abstracts or others. Some 
> librarians have a reluctance to discard for fear of cancelling online 
> products "in the future" and not having a fall-back and, thus, would 
> move to storage. Any opinions and experiences you have are 
> appreciated. This could also extend to the JSTOR/MUSE type titles and 
> what criteria you use to decide what goes away permanently, what goes 
> to storage and what stays within reach.
