[HSF] Paper Journals in an Internet age.

[Ani Anyanwu]

True - michael was asking about the merit of storing huge volumes - the discussion distracted somewhat into the value of paper as a whole which was what I was referring to. I agree there is probably little need to keep volumes of journals once read.

  Ani,
    I agree with you.  However, as far as keeping journals for  future 
  reference, how many do you actually go back and reread?  Is it worth  keeping all that 
  shelf space for just a few articles that are valuable to  you?  I think the 
  best method is to continue to read the journals, and then  throw them away in a 
  few months.  Future reference back to articles of  interest can be done 
  electronically as long as you are up to date on your  subscription fees.  Very 
  little in life is free (except for the joy of  hanging around in the cath lab 
  hoping for a case).  Those who want journal  articles for free are not really 
  being fair to the companies that rely on the  subscriptions to pay their employees 
  and bills.
