Limited Time Only! Adopt JSTOR Duplicate Print Journals

With the addition of the JSTOR Arts and Sciences V and VI Collections, Gumberg Library will be withdrawing corresponding print journal titles. Because JSTOR is committed to providing stable access in perpetuity to the titles in its collections, we are confident that we can trust JSTOR as a reliable and sustainable archive of scholarly journals. This allows us to reduce our print journal holdings and repurpose space.

For a limited time only, Duquesne University faculty have the opportunity to “adopt” duplicate print journal titles. The title list is available at http://www.duq.edu/library/research/jstor.cfm.

Requests for all volumes of a particular title(s) will receive priority and will be filled on a first come, first served basis, immediately upon receipt. Requests for selected volumes or years will be held until December 3, and then filled in order of date received.

Send all requests to Carmel Yurochko, Serials/Electronic Resources Librarian, yurochko@duq.edu , by December 3, 2010. You may also call Carmel at x5233 if you have questions.

All adoptions are final. Journals not claimed will be recycled.
