> 1. If you have a storage facility, what criteria is used to determine 
> what will be added to the facility and what is discarded? Are there 
> cases when you discard print copies and rely on a consortium or 
> cooperative for preservation and access?
>
> 2. If you do rely on a shared storage facility for preservation and 
> access, what subject areas are included? Do you know of a shared storage 
> facility that includes science and/or engineering print journal 
> collections as part of their responsibility for preservation and access?
>
> 3. For your institution, how many copies held locally constitute "last 
> copy"? How many copies held cooperatively constitute "last copy?"
>
> 4. Does your institution retain and bind copies of journals that publish 
> both print and online formats? Are you discarding or storing print 
> volumes when you have purchased online backfiles to journal runs?
>
> 5. What criteria does your institution use to weed monographs? Do 
> e-books impact the criteria?
>
> 6. Has your institution developed a retention policy for print and 
> digital formats? For monographs and serials? Would you be willing to 
> share it?
