Printed periodicals in the CERN Library: your opinion matters!

There is a strong demand for offices close to the Main Building and the CERN Management is looking at many solutions to increase the number of offices available in this area.
 

One of these solutions concerns the Library and the periodicals reading room. A new set of offices will be built where the paper periodicals are stored and part of these will be moved to a
nearby store, easily accessible by the Library staff on user request.
The space taken from the Library will be fully compensated by a new veranda to be built in the garden adjacent to the reading room. This new reading room is expected to offer a better and more modern use of the available library space (indoor/outdoor). The advantage to the Organization is obviously that we will create more work stations in an inspiring environment, while the disadvantage is that some printed material will have to be moved to the nearby stockroom. In this context it should also be remembered that two years ago, the Library stopped most subscriptions to hard-copy journals and periodicals. The transition to electronic only has been well received by a large majority of Library users.

In order to best gauge what journals should be kept in the Library, we are seeking your input.
