Dear Ms Patel,
your question has not been cleared to understand.
Please ask clearly what you want to know?
Either you want to know about the News Clipping Service or regarding Newspaper Subscription.

Dear Ma'm,

You can keep at least one copy of each Title (Newspaper) in Library Record for further reference, and other copies for sale. 

Ms. Patel

My understanding is you have been asked to keeping papers (New and Old)  for the periods. Regarding this better we can atleast one year papers are keep in the library and remaining we will send out the sale.

For example: Jan-Dec 2014 for sale

                    Jan-Dec 2015 and update (Jun 2016) for keep in the library for reference.

in this digital era almost many newspapers available in the internet. we can read the back issues also..so i suggest that it is not necessary to keep the old newspapers after three months....

Dear Ms. Patel,

As I understand there is no "fixed rules"

It solely depends upon the (1) purpose/need, (2) Space & (3) Infrastructure for Archiving

Here you are the best judge to evaluate the system.

In my earlier place, We keep old newspapers in hard copies for six months. beyond that we used to keep soft copies. we have a overhead scanner and we digitize the old copies in CDs. In our Library system the Archive is a very important wing and we maintain certain newspapers from their first issue (which are nearly100 years old). We have a 24/7 temp. controlled de-humidified room for storage of CDs and our users are advanced Researchers from India & abroad.

I have explained it so elaborately to highlight the purpose; then you can see that we can not afford to provide space beyond 6 months' collections.& lastly, I highlighted the infrastructure.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray

We also keep only six months old news paper now a days all news papers are available in e-paper format we can get whenever required
