Since we are contemplating, again, circulating magazines, some questions about magazine management in general have arisen. 1) Does your library circulate any magazines (or all magazines)? If you don't circulate all magazines, which do you NOT circulate, and why? 2) If you circulate magazines, do you have two subscriptions to the titles that you circulate (one to retain, and one to circulate)? 3) Do you bind back issues of magazines? If you do, why do you choose to bind some titles, and not others? 4) How long do you retain back issues? Do you retain for a longer period if the back issues are bound? Any answers will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
